It does. But the 'starting' revision must match, i.e. if you give the
'svn log' command a path to show the log for, that one must exist. If it
then sees that the file/folder got renamed, it will follow the rename.
But there's _no_ way Subversion could do the following:

svn log path/to/file_old -rHEAD

when /path/to/file_old got renamed in e.g. revision 100 to
/path/to/file_new.

That would be a _huge_ amount of work to do, and it also would take a
very long time to actually execute that function (a big for(){} loop
with many, many string comparisons in it). Also, in the log you don't
get the "copy" information in a way that is really parseable...
