[Shotwell] Call for testing

[Jim Nelson]

Martin,

I suspect this has something to do with some UTF-8 problems we've recently
discovered.  I don't think it means your database is corrupted, and
hopefully we'll have a fix in trunk soon.

If this is really holding you up, you can go into the
~/.shotwell/data/photo.db file with the sqlite3 command-line tool and alter
the TagTable.  If you examine the tags by name:

SELECT name FROM TagTable;

you'll see two or more that look identical (probably with a diacritic or
umlaut in their name).  If you rename one to something different, I *think*
you'll be in good shape.
