git-apply is just a wrapper around the patch(1) utility. As you have
created a patch for use in an email (as that's the point of using
format-patch, so you have both the commit message and diff in one
place), you should use git-am, which takes care of all the "magic". If
you want to change what the patch does, you just need to use git commit
--amend
