To explain the problem:
The way -h works right now is that it overrides the subcommand to 'help'.
This happens before any non-option arguments ('log' in your case)
are evaluated. So the code path for the 'svn log' subcommand is never entered.
The error message is the same as with 'svn help -r'.
Perhaps the implementation could be changed to avoid this issue.
Could you please file an issue?

Thanks.
