Reword git-am 3-way fallback failure message.

When the blobs recorded on the index lines in the patch as pre-image blobs are not found in the repository, "git-am" punted saying that the index line does not record anything useful. This was not clear enough -- the index line does have something useful but the problem was that it was not useful in _that_ repository. Reword the message as Francis Moreau suggests.
