In 2.16.0 `git branch --list` is sent to a pager by default.
(Without arguments, --list is the default, so this applies
to `git branch`).

You can set pager.branch to false to disable this in the
config, or use git --no-pager branch to do so for a single
invocation.

I can't say why you're seeing this with 2.16.1 and not
2.16.0, but I'm not familiar with homebrew, so perhaps
something didn't work as intended in 2.16.0.
