Ok, somehow I obviously got confused while testing. Sorry!

I also try to set up a matching timer:

systemctl --user start git-commit@/home/florian/timer.test.timer

works fine, but:

systemctl --user enable git-commit@/home/florian/timer.test.timer
Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument

Or is creating a target for the timer and set WantedBy in the service file 
the way to go? But still, why is starting working, but not enabling?

Thx,
Florian
