a way to rephrase what you mean is "Git has compile-time expectations
that crontab doesn't exist for macOS and Windows, but Git checks for
'systemctl' on the PATH regardless of compiled platform."
Thus, placing a systemctl script works for these platforms even when
they don't have systemctl available normally.
Very nice rewrite. Thanks for pointing out what your initial
reading hiccupped, as it is likely the same would happen to others.
