Well, all branches in compatible formats.

No.  The rich-root formats do not support subtrees, so converting from a
subtree format to a rich-root format is deliberately prevented.

However, if you are sure that your dirstate-with-subtree branch doesn't
actually use the subtree feature, then you can work around this using
$ bzr init --rich-root-pack
$ bzr pull ../path-to-existing-branch
