"git apply" can't add new files to repo ?

I created a patch by "git format-patch", and this patch includes some newly-added files.

when I got back to the original branch, and apply this patch, the new files appear, but they are not added to git repository, so I have to manually find all the new files and do "git add" for each of them.

I guess there should have been a way to automatically do "git add" for all the new files in the patch, how could I do that?

thanks a lot Yang
