Redirect on empty directory should not add extra history items

If I press back, or on my laptop backspace, when trying to go "back" up the directory hierarchy navigation loops. Pressing back lands me on an empty folder which redirects back down the directory structure which undoes what I was trying to do by pressing back.

On my laptop backspace is more convenient than moving the cursor to click on directories.
Yes 'u' goes up (without the redirect) but I don't want to go up I want to go back. Digging up a short cut to do what I didn't know about do avoid behavior that breaks the way I use a browser is annoying.

I'd like to be redirected when opening an empty folder but I don't want the extra history items this entails. I did not navigate through 4 folders I navigated from src to src/a/b/code in one step. (or a the very least when I press back don't redirect me "forward" again)
