Revisions are repository-wide so every file has a defined state for
every repository revision. Your file changed in r8974 and then stayed
the same until r9154. So r9153 is exactly the same as r8974.

I guess TortoiseMerge could populate the title bars with the specific
revision of the previous change, but it is not always know. If you
diff the last change shown in the log dialog then the only way to find
the revision of the previous change would be to fetch more log
information.
