[wp-hackers] relative URL for login

[Alex King]

I think I brought this up before and it was shot down, but I'd like to 
try again: I think using a relative URL for the login is a good idea.

Today, I tripped over this person who experienced a problem that would 
have been avoided by using a relative URL:

http://delugen.org/~bedlam/blog/index.php?p=2

I mostly get complaints on this from friends who have done a local 
install or an install into a staging directory and then experience the 
'gotcha' when they go to put their blog live. We're basically requiring 
people to either know they have to fix the site URL before they move 
their blog (which means their staging site no longer works) or they 
have to be savvy enough to use phpMyAdmin or similar and dig around 
until they find the setting they need to change.

I'd be happy to hear arguments for and against.
