Would you support a patch to add "ssh --version" this is the standard
way to check the version, it is unclear what version ssh from the help
output, so could add it to that as well. If there was agreement.

$ ssh
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfGgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c
cipher_spec]
           [-D [bind_address:]port] [-E log_file] [-e escape_char]
           [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file] [-L address]
           [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p
port]
           [-Q query_option] [-R address] [-S ctl_path] [-W host:port]
           [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] [user@]hostname [command]


I would suggest adding the version to this output as well. And also
--version command line on the parameters
