-F0 makes sense. We'll try to use it downstream.

Thank you!

The attached patch is a unified diff with two context lines (-U2), which is less than the default three lines of context.  Patch by default allows fuzz 2 (-F2), at which point no context lines remain and the patch always applies.

When applying patches with little context, specify a lower fuzz factor (-F1 or -F2).  In automated environments, -F0 is generally a good idea.  Also, it helps to see what patch prints; omit -s for that.

Original bug report:
    https://bugs.gentoo.org/674538

Steps to reproduce:
    $ wget -c https://www.samba.org/ftp/ccache/ccache-3.5.1a.tar.xz
    $ tar -xf ccache-3.5.1a.tar.xz
    $ cat ../ccache-3.5.1-configure.patch | patch -f -p1 -s -g0 --no-backup-if-mismatch
    $ cat ../ccache-3.5.1-configure.patch | patch -f -p1 -s -g0 --no-backup-if-mismatch
    $ cat ../ccache-3.5.1-configure.patch | patch -f -p1 -s -g0 --no-backup-if-mismatch

Observe patch is applied multiple times.

I expected already applied patch would not be applied and return a patch error.

Thanks!
