Indeed. At least I never had problems with that.

The concrete issue I already had is that gerrit refuses a push if the patch
didn't change. I handled this in the past by artificially pushing another
version of the change changing the patch and then pushing again the patch I
wanted to push. Didn't try using force, not sure about other ways.
