Hey Damien.

Two notes:

a) Thought about adding such a "stop-matching-here" syntax, as I've
proposed in comment #14?

b) You're right with respect to the documentation, more or less ;-)
I know understood how you meant the merging to be... but then the
following might sense to be added:
Now you say:
>     ssh(1) obtains configuration data from the following sources
>     in the fol‐
>     lowing order:
>
>           1.   command-line options
>           2.   user's configuration file (~/.ssh/config)
>           3.   system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config)
etc..

If you add a:
4. ONLY if none of the ones before specified an options, that option's
default is used.

Then the thing I've always meant (why is the default of IdentityFile
not added) is clear.


Cheers,
Chris

btw: reopening in order to get your attention,.. just close it again if
you disagree :)
