 Description of the issue :
 If a file is uploaded to the blog (using the post uploader) and then the
 URL of the blog is changed, in the admin manage/uploads section, the
 pointer will still map to the old URL (so the result is a broken link
 structure for uploaded items).

 To be more precise :
 We have a blog with the following structure :
 http://www.blog.com/directory/
 If I upload a file, it will go into the following directory :
 http://www.blog.com/directory/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/file_name
 Now if I change the blog URL to be :
 http://www.blog.com/
 (ie I have stripped the directory and moved all the files to the root)
 The file links is still :
 http://www.blog.com/directory/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/file_name
 So the directory hasn't been removed while I have updated the blog URL
 structure in the admin.
