I ran shotwell with logging on, and importing those same photos I got
the exact same result as you, and a correct tag tree (no duplicates).
So initially I was as puzzled as you, because nothing changed in my
configuration, then I remembered the computer rule #1: 'the problem is
between the keyboard and the chair'.

My guess is you have to delete the 'LastKeywordXMP' and 'TagsList'
fields added by shotwell to the test photos: my photos were 'after
import' so they included hierarchical tags information added by
shotwell.

I did 'exiftool -all:all= *jpg' on those files, then imported in
f-spot and tagged, then imported from s-spot to shotwell and I got the
same results as the other day (i.e. duplicate tags).

The relevant screenshot is:

(This time I didn't put the top-level tags 'blue, red, green', just
the friends' names.)

The worst part is that my shotwell.log *does* say it is knocking out
the flat tags, but eventually the tags are duplicated as top-level
tags.

The log file is:

http://traversin.org/shotwell-test/shotwell.log

The photos in the directory are 'after import', if you want to use
them for a test remember to strip the tags added by shotwell, or, even
better, all tags.

Ciao,
Piergi
