[PATCH] replace: fix replacing object with itself

From: Manzur Mukhitdinov <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:02:54
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

When object is replaced with itself git shows unhelpful messages like(git log):
    "fatal: replace depth too high for object <SHA1>"

Prevents user from replacing object with itself(with test for checking
this case).
