Yes, and you will see several patches from google.com addresses that are not labeled [google]. Those are meant for trunk or devel branches. It is true that if a patch is meant for trunk, it should not have a branch tag. I expect slipups like that to occur from time to time.

I suggested using it for code reviews a while ago and contributed a script to facilitate using it with GCC. See http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/rietveld Diego.
