[Shotwell] External HD not connected - Lost all events & tags

[gustible]

I experienced the same problem - the external HD on which my photos are
stored was unmounted. Without realising this, I started Shotwell. All the
event-photo links were destroyed.
In the database, the eventid in the Photos table was set to -1 for every
photo. Most events were still present in the events table - although not
all. 
This was on Shotwell 0.7.2 - the current version shipping with Ubuntu.
I wrote a script in Python (sorry) to recreate the events that were lost, or
alternatively, to recover the lost events - feel free to use the
(warrantyless) script - can be found
