Subject: [PATCH] apply: refactor "previous patch" logic

The code to grab the result of application of a previous patch in the
input was mixed with error message generation for a case where a later
patch tries to modify contents of a path that has been removed.

The same code is duplicated elsewhere in the code.  Introduce a helper
to clarify what is going on.
