Yes. But there are some restrictions, most notably with renames. Our git-style diffs show adds, deletes, and copies properly. But renames are shown as copy+delete, just like elsewhere in Subversion. See the example below. We'll need better rename support to improve this. It's anticipated that at least local renames (i.e. in the working copy) will be recognized as renames rather than copy+delete in Subversion 1.8.
