 From Subversion's point of view, there shouldn't be anything special
about a file with a name like "login." Your web server or proxy
server may be configured to react specially to such a file, however;
ask your server admin.

I'm not sure about this "absent" status, unless it's what "svn help
status" describes as "!" (missing).

In the working copy where these files exist, what does "svn status --
no-ignore" say?

Did someone delete these files from the repository between revision
61 and 63? Check "svn log -v -r 61:63"
