openssh bugs - Oct 2017 - [Bug 2789] New: Manpage is not clear on how to use Include keyword

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2789

            Bug ID: 2789
           Summary: Manpage is not clear on how to use Include keyword
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.5p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: swehack at gmail.com

I noticed by accident that I could not use the Include keyword in the
middle of my ssh_config file, between other Host blocks. (Not inside a
Host/Match block).

I had to move it up to the start of my file, before all other Host
blocks, before it worked.

This can likely be closed because I discovered later, too late, that
Host/Match blocks are terminated by the next Host/Match block.

So when I tried to put an Include statement in the middle of my file it
was not "standalone", it was in fact inside the last Host block.

Moving it up above Host blocks made it "standalone". 

This is not clear unless you read the Host/Match block manpage
sections.

Close all resolved bugs after release of OpenSSH 7.7.
