Those are all consumed by our parser, so they all support comments.
I was considering whether they should have a license header at all,
but in the end I decided to add it because those files are often created
by copying parts of real unit files. And if the real ones have a license,
then those might as well. It's easier to add it than to make an exception.
The test sometimes fails, e.g. in bionic-s390x ci. I think it might be because
the service binary exits before we get a chance to notice that it is running:

13:59:31 Test timeout when testing path-unit.path
It seems test/test-path/path-service.service wasn't actually used for anything.
As documented in systemd.path(5):
When a service unit triggered by a path unit terminates (regardless
whether it exited successfully or failed), monitored paths are
checked immediately again, and the service accordingly restarted
instantly.
This commit implements this behaviour for PathExists=, PathExistsGlob=,
and DirectoryNotEmpty=. These predicates are essentially
"level-triggered": the service should be activated whenever the
predicate is true. PathChanged= and PathModified=, on the other hand,
are "edge-triggered": the service should only be activated when the
predicate *becomes* true.
The behaviour has been broken since at least as far back as commit
8fca6944c2 ("path: stop watching path specs once we triggered the target
unit"). This commit had systemd stop monitoring inotify whenever the
triggered unit was activated. Unfortunately this meant it never updated
the ->inotify_triggered flag, so it never rechecked the path specs when
the triggered unit deactivated.
With this commit, systemd rechecks all paths specs whenever the
triggered unit deactivates. If any PathExists=, PathExistsGlob= or
DirectoryNotEmpty= predicate passes, the triggered unit is reactivated.
If the target unit is activated by something outside of the path unit,
the path unit immediately transitions to a running state. This ensures
the path unit stops monitoring inotify in this situation.
With this change in place, commit d7cf8c24d4 ("core/path: fix spurious
triggering of PathExists= on restart/reload") is no longer necessary.
The path unit (and its triggered unit) is now always active whenever
the PathExists= predicate passes, so there is no spurious restart when
systemd is reloaded or restarted.
