[systemd-devel] dbus API for unit state change?

[Brandon Philips]

Another dbus question:

Is it expected that a UnitNew and UnitRemove are sent when I use
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get or GetAll? This also happens with
`systemctl status doesnt-exist.service`

Here is an example of what I am seeing:
https://gist.github.com/philips/6834913/raw/5bd36998829ca44c25c3798afd3c77c147b1ba27/gistfile1.txt

This isn't very nice because I need to explicitly guard against
getting into an infinite loop of looking up properties on non-existent
units.

Thanks,

Brandon
