I would advise using two instances, along with two database instances. If
you'll be playing with the config, you won't want to have to bounce your
live site.
For the file moving, you can either check everything in dev into cvs and
check it back out into the live site, or you can just use rsync to mirror
the directories. It will depend on how many people will be developing and
the size of the content. For the site I work on, we also use a qa server
where changes can accumulate and be tested together.
