[PATCH V3] git-apply: adjust messages to account for --3way changes

From
Jerry Zhang <jerry@skydio.com>
Date

Message-ID

"git apply" specifically calls out when it is falling back to 3way merge application. Since the order changed to preferring 3way and falling back to direct application, continue that behavior by printing whenever 3way fails and git has to fall back.
