The timer I try to enable contains a Install section.


florian at asaru ~/.config/systemd/user % cat git-commit at .timer
[Unit]
Description=Timer to commit all changes in instance.

[Timer]
OnUnitActiveSec=5min
OnActiveSec=5min
AccuracySec = 5min

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
florian at asaru ~/.config/systemd/user % systemctl --user enable git-
commit@/home/florian/timer.test.timer
Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument


Is my assumption that instance argument (the path) is derived from the timer 
to the unit wrong?
