Then at least the error message should be different. It should not be "path
not found" but something like "revision does not exist for path".

No, I really tried to get a single old revision and at first was surprised by
the error. (The original case was on a file that was moved, as the module was
re-organized.)
Now that I have understood the logic behind it, I find that the error message
is misleading.
So perhaps my wish is a sort of --follow-life switch that follows moves for a
log.
Have a nice day!
