I set up a systemd unit to start the assistant, which works fine (it uses --autostart). When it comes time to stop the unit, however, it calls git annex assistant --stop, which fails because the current directory doesn't have a git annex repository in it.

    git-annex version: 5.20140717
    build flags: Assistant Inotify DBus Quvi TDFA
    key/value backends: SHA256E SHA1E SHA512E SHA224E SHA384E SHA256 SHA1 SHA512 SHA224 SHA384 WORM URL
    remote types: git gcrypt bup directory rsync web tahoe glacier ddar hook external

Here's my unit file:
[[!format ini """
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/git-annex assistant --autostart
ExecStop=/usr/bin/git-annex assistant --stop

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
