repatching doesn't work for iterative patches

[mahaase]

if the order of patchfiles is relevant, the revert patching doesn't work:

basement/classes/patch.yaml

Lines 26 to 48 in f4a53e1

	# Skip if series is already applied. Otherwise try to remove old series if
	# it does not match.
	name=".applied$name"
	if [ -e "$name" ] ; then
	if cmp <( for (( idx=$# ; idx>0 ; idx-- )) ; do cat "${@:$idx:1}" ; done ) "$name" ; then
	# The patch is allegedly applied and was not changed. Check if
	# it is still applied as expected...
	if patch -p $p -F 0 -Rfs --dry-run < "$name" ; then
	return
	fi
	echo "Patch was (partially) squashed? Trying to recover..." >&2
	fi
	# Remove old patch
	patch -p $p -F 0 -Rf < "$name" || true
	rm "$name"
	fi
	for i in "$@" ; do
	patch -p $p -F 0 -f < $i
	touch "$name"
	cat $i "$name" > "$name".new
	mv "$name".new "$name"
	done

I guess, we have to write the patches in reverted order into the .applied file?!

Actually I wanted to properly solve this issue by BobBuildTool/bob#347. The whole patch class is a stop-gap solution...
