[systemd-devel] undo "systemctl edit"

[Windl, Ulrich]

Hi!

By mistake I added a [Timer] section to a service unit (instead of timer unit) using "systemctl edit ...". After realizing the mistake, I used "systemctl edit ..." again to remove all lines.
However this caused to keep the file in place, not canceling the edit.
So I wonder: Wouldn't it make more sense to REMOVE the override file if it's empty (and the containing directory too if it's empty then)?
If the user must remove such files, it's a rather messy interface.
After all, every editor has a "cancel" (quit without saving changes), so I don't see the sense in this unexpected behavior (even when documented).
