Absolutely. And we do:

$ svn log -r 9212 -v --xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<log>
<logentry
   revision="9212">
<author>josander</author>
<date>2004-03-26T09:40:14.875951Z</date>
<paths>
...
<path
   copyfrom-path="/trunk/packages/win32-innosetup/templates/paths_inno_src.iss"
   copyfrom-rev="9211"
   action="A">/trunk/packages/win32-innosetup/templates/svn_dynamics.iss</path>
</paths>
...
