Any movement on this enhancement - I have a 300 page policy document I am
tracking in Git for changes and the noise creates large git overhead with each
save.

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...).

*possibly* would address that part.

Aside from the time stamps and printer metadata, saving an unmodified calc file
in .fods format changes a lot of "style:name" entries in the xml file. The
style:name values seem to be just swapped around. This causes a lot of diff
noises in the xml file even when no modification is done on the format or in
the content.

Here's a git clean filter implementation that strips most of the annoying tags

(In reply to David Juran from comment #0)
 This RFE is about (optionally) making the Flat XML ODF format less chatty
 by excluding some metadata which would make version control of documents
 easier to accomplish.

Sounds like a good proposal for improvement.

Severity - enhancement
Status - NEW

It would be great to have some initial notes about what kinds of chatty
information could be stripped or re-organized to make the FODF formats more
attractive for diffing.

Here's one challenge: Indenting and adding newlines to the XML. Here's what the
FODTs look like now:

office:metameta:creation-date2015-01-11T13:55:01.410705604/meta:creation-datedc:date2015-01-11T13:55:18.841988521/dc:datemeta:editing-durationPT17S/meta:editing-durationmeta:editing-cycles1/meta:editing-cyclesmeta:document-statistic
meta:table-count=0 meta:image-count=0 meta:object-count=0
meta:page-count=1 meta:paragraph-count=1 meta:word-count=2
meta:character-count=13 meta:non-whitespace-character-count=12/

Uggh. Run that through 'xmllint --format', and you can get something
human-readable that diffs pretty reasonably:

 dc:date2015-01-11T13:55:18.841988521/dc:date
 meta:editing-durationPT17S/meta:editing-duration
