in repository openssh.

commit 4f9d75fbafde83d428e291516f8ce98e6b3a7c4b
Author: naddy at openbsd.org <naddy at openbsd.org>
Date:   Wed Sep 4 20:31:15 2019 +0000

    upstream: Call comma-separated lists as such to clarify semantics.
    
    Options such as Ciphers take values that may be a list of ciphers; the
    complete list, not indiviual elements, may be prefixed with a dash or plus
    character to remove from or append to the default list, respectively.
    
    Users might read the current text as if each elment took an optional prefix,
    so tweak the wording from "values" to "list" to prevent such ambiguity for
    all options supporting these semantics.
    
    Fix instances missed in first commit.  ok jmc@ kn@
