No, can't think of anything else right now. Those two
move-tracking-enabled enhancements would be nice.
But I can see that it would be really hard to do this with disjoint
working copies, and I agree that it's perfectly defensible to punt on
this now. As long as the pre-1.8 behavior keeps working in that case
(i.e. you can do it all, you just have no single-commit protection, no
conflict resolution help).
