Does homebrew keep logs, and if so where?

I did a brew update which broke python support in macvim, and now I can't even get macvim to build. I'm hoping that there are some clues in the log.

Homebrew issue #10430 talks about logging and build errors. The issue report mentions no log file is kept but explains that a log can be created with the command format:

brew install <formula> 2>&1 | tee install.log
