Apparently, that's intentional. From builtin/gc.c:
/*
* No matter the schedule, we use the same service and can make
* use of the templating system. When installing
* git-maintenance@<schedule>.timer, systemd will notice that
* git-maintenance@.service exists as a template and will use this
* file and insert the <schedule> into the template at the
* position of "%i".
*/
static int systemd_timer_write_service_template(const char *exec_path)
{
char *local_service_name = xstrfmt(SYSTEMD_UNIT_FORMAT, "", "service");
I'm not sure why the comment is talking about "%i", though.
