Yes. I think they are useful for all branches if you backport a patch for
a particular fix or e.g. fix something that is not yet fixed on the trunk
and will be only when a particular devel branch with that fix is merged
into trunk. But in all cases that should be a single commit to fix a
particular bug (or a set of closely related bugs). Plain merges from
other branches should just say what branch, perhaps revisions were merged.
