I would guess that's because of lack of the "copied-to" information repository. See the discussion of "true renames" - the problem is that Subversion tracks only where the path was copied from, but does not track where it was copied to.
Moreover, the path may have been copied to more than one place. I am not sure what would be the expected result from this command in such scenario - list revisions on all paths that have NotifyAction.java as ancestor? Regards, Alexey.
