"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. Add a --quiet flag to "git apply" so the user can turn down the verbosity.
