When checking to see if some objects are of the same type
and when displaying the type of objects, git replace uses
the sha1_object_info() function.
Unfortunately this function by default respects replace
refs, so instead of the type of a replaced object, it
gives the type of the replacement object which might
be different.
To fix this bug, and because git replace should work at a
level before replacement takes place, let's unset the
read_replace_refs global variable at the beginning of
cmd_replace().
