I have already used fodt in git, and automatic styles are painful.

1) they prevent transparent comparison of two versions of files in git,
2) they make it difficult to apply an xsl style sheet to a set of fodt files,
because the automatic style numbers are random,
3) the file is less readable by a human being.

It is possible to disable the use of automatic styles in LibreOffice Writer:

Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Comparison -> Random number to
improve accuracy of document comparison -> NOT Store it when changing the
document

My opinion is that automatic styles are not useful for all purposes, and there
should be a LibreOffice command-line option to replace automatic styles with
named styles in files (that is, a xsl style sheet).

Ideally, flat files should not use automatic styles by default, in order to be
easier to handle with external programs (git, xsltproc...).
