Bug#790262: systemd: warns that service changes on disk instead of just reloading

[brian m. carlson]

Package: systemd
Version: 220-7
Severity: normal

If I edit a file on disk, and then attempt to use service to restart it,
systemd warns but does not reload the file:

  castro ok % sudo service krb5-kdc restart
  Warning: krb5-kdc.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
  ^C%

When I invoked service, I expected systemd to just reload the unit
instead of warning me that it had changed.  After all, I wouldn't have
edited the file unless I wanted systemd to do something different with
the service.  systemd should just reload the file (or files)
automatically, since that's what the user expects to happen; the
behavior is also consistent with sysvinit.
