This just happened to me:
darcs apply --skip-conflicts -i bundle.dpatch
Skipping some patches which would cause conflicts.
All these patches have already been applied. Nothing to do.
But in fact every patch of the bundle conflicted with my repo.
So now the message should be:
Skipping some patches which would cause conflicts.
All new patches of the bundle cause conflicts. Nothing to do.

* less confusing apply --skip-conflicts message when everything conflicts
