I think that rebase had better not trust the origin links in deciding
whether a patch was already applied; it already does it well enough.

git-cherry is another story, as that tool is not faking "changeset mode"
so well (because it cannot attempt merges, and these are what allows
git-rebase to fake changesets much better).
