I am ok with SHORT_REPLACE_FMT and so on.

Yeah, SHORT_REPLACE_FMT is "name only" which means something like:

$ git replace --format=short
14ac020163ea60a9d683ce68e36c946f31ecc856
4b48deed3a433909bfd6b6ab3d4b91348b6af464
5c37393794868bc8e708cccd7c9d9aaa7a5e53cb
a3fb2e1845a1aaf129b7975048973414dc172173
e25dc7954f0832d962347872884aab2dffb426c5

MEDIUM_REPLACE_FMT is "name and value", like this:

$ git replace --format=medium
14ac020163ea60a9d683ce68e36c946f31ecc856 ->
4b48deed3a433909bfd6b6ab3d4b91348b6af464
4b48deed3a433909bfd6b6ab3d4b91348b6af464 ->
feae347d8510cfba5eb8c8ac80056777b07c2528
5c37393794868bc8e708cccd7c9d9aaa7a5e53cb ->
14ac020163ea60a9d683ce68e36c946f31ecc856
a3fb2e1845a1aaf129b7975048973414dc172173 ->
9af2a15082b7c95982473e32f3376558c149a7e7
e25dc7954f0832d962347872884aab2dffb426c5 ->
00ad688edb1a79423184992de45a5f0322c8bdf5

and FULL _REPLACE_FMT is "name with type and value with type", like this:

$ git replace --format=full
14ac020163ea60a9d683ce68e36c946f31ecc856 (commit) ->
4b48deed3a433909bfd6b6ab3d4b91348b6af464 (blob)

I think this last one might be useful for people replacing objects
with objects that have another type.
And as we let people do that using --force, it could be useful for
them to have a way to easily see what they have done.

Thanks,
Christian.
