### Please describe the problem. The latest released version of git-annex (6.20161031) breaks on all platforms that do not have ssh 7.3 installed as it relies on "Include" ssh_config(5) configuration flag that appeared in 7.3p1. The broken platforms include macOS Sierra and Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial (LTS) both include ssh 7.2 # Ubuntu 16.04 $ ssh -V OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.1, OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016 # macOS $ ssh -V OpenSSH_7.2p2, LibreSSL 2.4.1 Here is what it looks like: $ git annex move --to vir move Foobar.mkv (checking vir...) .git/annex/ssh.config: line 1: Bad configuration option: include .git/annex/ssh.config: line 2: Bad configuration option: include .git/annex/ssh.config: terminating, 2 bad configuration options (unable to check vir CallStack (from HasCallStack): error, called at ./Remote/Helper/Messages.hs:32:15 in main:Remote.Helper.Messages) failed $ cat .git/annex/ssh.config Include ~/.ssh/config Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config ServerAliveInterval 60 > This is already fixed in git.
