Those are the revisions those folders were last changed (i.e. the 'last

No, you ended up with revision 76 as the dialog told you. You just
didn't change branches/test123 in revision 76 so it is the same as
revision 75.

You don't get an error because in revision 76 the URL existed - it just
didn't change in that revision.
