Re: [google] Linker plugin to do function reordering using callgraph edge profiles (issue5124041)
I think you may be trolling, but I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt since you seem to be lacking some background.

We've long allowed different companies hold branches on gcc.gnu.org.

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. Thanks for pointing it out.

No. This is Rietveld, an open source code review system. 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
