For patches which don't modify the same file more than once in conflicting ways, applying a patch with -R --dry-run will succeed when a patch has been applied already.

It's a deficiency of --dry-run that it doesn't work for arbitrary input.  When the input to patch modifies the same file twice, the order of those modifications would also have to be reversed when determining if a patch has already been applied.  I have no plans to address the latter problem.

It would be nice if patch had an option to report if a patch had
already been applied to a file or files.

Thanks,
Dave
