With systemd using `--autostart --foreground` either ignore foreground or quit immediatelly.
I managed to have the process stay alive with `RemainAfterExit=on`:
[Service]
User=%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/git-annex assistant --autostart --foreground
ExecStop=/usr/bin/git-annex assistant --autostop
RemainAfterExit=on
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
but git-annex processes does not maintain the `--foreground` option which is causing a lot of zombies in the long period (not totally clear why).
My current solution is to have a service for each annex repository and avoid `--autosart` but this is annoying because it require to pass the path as `%I` and wrap git-annex in bash script to get the repo owner as the user.
