### Please describe the problem. Git-annex is hanging for me on all operations if I have a customized OpenSSH host as a remote. This is because git-annex uses a custom config file that uses directives introduced in OpenSSH 7.3p1 . I have OpenSSH 6.7p1 . ### What steps will reproduce the problem? On Debian Jessie, specify a custom host in ~/.ssh/config such as Host custom-host HostName realhost.com Add it as a remote and try to use git-annex $ git remote add custom user@custom-host $ git annex vicfg --debug It just hangs. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 6.20161211-gc3ab3c668 PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)" ### Please provide any additional information below.

"""]] The problem is the use of the `Include` directive which is not understood by my release of OpenSSH. ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) Git-annex rocks !!!! > [[done]]; this was already fixed --[[Joey]]
