My suggestion (which Michael has said before that he does not like but it works great for me) ...
Make a real plugin package and a repo file ... and host the repo file on a web server somewhere. Configure your LMS to use that (private) repo file and let it install into Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/<pluginname> Then when you want to try out some changes ... simply use WinSCP to copy over the changed files into that folder (overwriting what LMS put there) and restart LMS (no need to update the install.xml at this point). If you uninstall the plugin then LMS will remove all of the files ... so always make the changes that you think you want to keep on your desktop system. To do it 100% properly you could package up each speculative change and update install.xml, make a new zip file and update the repo file (new checksum and version) but that is a lot of extra work to do while you are trying out small changes. There is scope for confusion ... particularly after you have made an official release where you try something out and then forget to push an official update to the zip/repo ... but since you have not released anything to the outside world yet then this does not really matter.
