Once #3710 is fixed, --style=auto will essentially be an alias for --decorations=auto (which is the default). I suggest that --style=auto be deprecated so the role of each option is clear.
--style should control how the output is formatted, and --decorations should control when that formatting is applied. Right now, --style tries to do both, which introduces confusion.
