My suggestion is that SVN skips 1.7.5 and 1.7.6 and call next release 1.7.7
There's no unusual about skipping versions due to issues found in the
release process (1.610 and 1.6.14 was never released) so lets call this
an "issue" and "pull" the 1.7.5 and 1.7.6 releases.

If tsvn is willing to adjust their versioning scheme so why not help
them a bit to get aligned.

This is my 2c
