I think this behavior is what we want here, because there's no indication
in the log dialog that the url for which the log dialog is shown has
changed. So the error clearly tells the user that the path/url for which
the log dialog is shown does not exist in the selected revision.
This avoids a branch created from a wrong url.

And have you noticed how long the revision graph takes to execute?
That's not something I will implement just for creating a branch...
