I've had good luck using 2 versions of f-spot installed in different directories. I have /sw/f-spot which is the head version with all of the patches I need to work applied, and /sw/f-spot-clean, which is a clean version of head that I use to test patches and the like. I just keep two separate source trees, one configured with "autogen.sh --prefix=/sw/f-spot", and the other with "autogen.sh --prefix=/sw/f-spot". Combined with the --photoDir patch (which allows me not to use f-spot-clean on my 'real' photo.db or photo dir) - I find this works really well...
