Good.

No, there is no way to tell at which point patches were first made.
But one shouldn't apply patches to master, but to a branch. When you
want to apply some patch(es), you check out a branch from current master
(with -b somename), apply the patch(es), and commit. Later, when master
has advanced, you check out master, git pull, then check out the somename
branch, then from that branch check out a new branch (say: testing), run
'git rebase master', check whether this patched version still works. If
yes, then git branch -D somename and git branch -m somename, and you have
effectively rebased the somename branch to master. If the patched version
no longer functions, then git checkout somename, git branch -D testing,
and git branch -m somename-FINAL to indicate that rebasing is no good.
