It does, as evidenced by the fact that log is following the file
deltas back across renames. 

The confusion comes from the way names are specified for restrictions
- in short, are you using the name of the file it has now, or the name
it had in the revision you're asking for.  I think in your specific
example, it's made worse because you're using relative paths within a
subdirectory of the workspace, where the actual rename was on a parent
of that dir. 

We talked about a way to be explicit about this (a syntax for
address@hidden) but it hasn't been implemented AFAIK.
