  In [1], Linus suggests a non-core solution. Unfortunately, it doesn't
fly - it requires at least two git-ls-tree calls per revision which
would bog things down awfully (to roughly half of the original speed).
    

No it doesn't. It requires one git-ls-tree WHEN SOMETHING IS RENAMED.

In other words, basically never.
  

A simple example is the first loop in git-annotate.perl.  (Which was
basically written by Linus, I just translated it from a
shell/pseudo-code example into Perl)
