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

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>"?
