Isn't this an issue for lots of people? I find I'm always making copies of my site (throw my whole installation in a new directory and point it to a duplicate of the database) to play around with new features. Doesn't everyone do this? :-) How can I do it without it breaking all the internal links in my content?

I frequently make new subdomains for these temporary purposes instead of new folders

live site: example.com test site: test.example.com

That way the site stays relative in test and production.

I agree with Ber that a filter solution is a good idea, but the subdomain works quickly for me since it's just as easy for me to add a subdomain as a new directory.
