Indeed.
However, I'm sure there's a better way. For example, something like "try
if the patch applied reversed" might be a good idea to at least mark it
for questioning.
Something like
patch -spfR --dry-run --fuzz=0 < patch
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo Hmm.. patch might be applied already
exit 1
fi
might be a starting point...
