True, but turning off configured decorations also helps scripts. I think
we can all agree that normal "git log" is not supposed to be consumed by
scripts, but should "git log --pretty=raw" turn off configured
decorations?

With the current code, gitk (which calls "log --pretty=raw") barfs on a
repository with log.decorate turned on.
