--- Comment #19 from Kevin Dalley <kevin at kelphead.org> ---
I pushed another patch into 'bug309058', which solves the problem of moving a
tag within the tree. When this patch is placed into master, then the bug can be
closed.

 When tags are moved to a different position in the tree, synchronize
 tag changes by writing to files, using WriteFromDatabaseToFile

I repeated Test 3 from above.

Test 3, move a tag, passes: After recreating the tag "Sidecar", move it to
"Testing/Sidecar" Examine the jpeg and the xmp sidecar exiftool -a file |grep
Sidecar Note that "Testing/Sidecar" does appear now.  Note that Sidecar-new
shows up under Subject. This seems to be the result of early testing. 
The following does not fix the problem. I consider this either a different bug,
or possibly a feature, where Subject does not get updated to match the tags.
