So you don't want atomic rename per se, you really want local mods to
move within the working copy. Atomic rename is probably one way to
achieve that, but I don't think it's the only way, I think the
copyfrom information recieved during an update could be used to copy
local mods within the working copy. In cases where the tree change
really is a copy, rather than a move, the copyfrom solution might be
superior.
