TortoiseSVN has a "revision graph" feature that does this. It's very
slow, presumably because it has to examine the entire log of the
repository, rather than just the log for that file.
For example, I just tried it on a file that's currently at revision
35000 or so, and it told me it would be done in just 51 more minutes (I
gave up). The log for the file shows about 200 revisions.
I'd expect this would be a lot faster if there were a record of places a
file had been copied to, as well as where it was copied from.
