[Digikam-users] Tags a mess after numberouse upgrades, help me sort them out pls!

[Jasper]

Good Day all, 
 Been using Digikam a good long time now, I think the database file I have
atm probably originated a few (2-3) years ago, and has in the last few
iterations of Digikam resulted in my tags becoming a big mess. 
  (This may be because the database got completely fragged, but digikam has
cleverly reconstructed the tags etc, as they were all embedded.... ) 

At anyrate I had heirarchical tag structure, which still remains, but the
ends middles etc. of the heirachys have also been copied to the root, i.e: 

places/{place1,place2, ...,placen,placeBlah/{blaseBlah1...}} 
has become 
<heirachichal as above>, and: 
place1 
place2 
placen 
plaseBlah/{plaseBlah1..} 
plaseBlah1 
 etc ad nauseum, 

Can digikam allow me to sort these tags out and force the new heireachy back
into the image tags(exif)? 
 I am not too worried if this involves some scripting that may take an hour
or so... as long as the tag tree can be cleaned up! 

I am planning on going to mysql db, should this be done before migrating or
after? 

Thank you. 

Jasper
