A third option (which does not involve any hand-hacking of the database) is
to open the folders collection, right-click on the root folder containing
all the misplaced images, and click "search filmroll...". This will bring

folder.

Suggested situation looks like actual git design. Administrative files
live in .git directory at *repository root*. With git you can access a
git repository through whatever path it happens to be reachable, no
constraints. It just works.
With suggested situation in darktable, when you access a photo
collection on a removable drive, or a network share, etc, darktable
would notice the volume (just like git notices the repository by
looking for a .git directory) and not create duplicates because photos
have already been identified as being of a known volume.
Sounds like a smart solution but I can already see the complaints from
users who are upset about the filesystem being cluttered with "all the
darktable files" (just like they are upset about the .xmp)
