The documentation could be misunderstood as if "git replace -l" lists

replaced objects.

You could just change the documentation to make it more explicit.

Change the output to the form "<object> <replacement>" so that there is
an easy way to find the replacement, besides the more difficult to find
git show-ref $(git replace -l).

I shamelessly copied the "-l <pattern>" feature and the documentation
from "git tag". If you just change the output of "git replace -l" it
will make the UI inconsistent between both commands.

Maybe you could add a "-L <pattern>" feature to "git replace", "git
tag" and "git branch" that would output "<ref name> <ref content>"?

Thanks,
