Depends on which version of svn you are using.

There was a bug in log --diff with moved nodes which was fixed in 1.7.4.

Another problem was that if the file was newly added the diff used to be
anchored at its parent:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2873
This was fixed in 1.7.2.

Does either of these fixes apply to your situation?

In any case, if you're not using Subversion 1.7.4, can you please try
to reproduce the problem you are seeing with 1.7.4?

If you can reproduce it with 1.7.4, can you please try to provide an
example 'svn log' invocation against a public Subversion repository
(for instance, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf) that shows the problem?

Please also read this thread on the dev@ list in case it applies
to your problem: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-03/0385.shtml

Thanks.
