openssh bugs - Mar 2018 - [Bug 2840] New: ssh: Include directive not supported as a command-line option

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2840

            Bug ID: 2840
           Summary: ssh: Include directive not supported as a command-line
                    option
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.6p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: peter.volkov at gmail.com

Whenever I try to use `ssh -o Include='/some/path' host` I receive the
error:

Include directive not supported as a command-line option

Yet man ssh states that Include is supported Value for -o command line
option. Either manual page or ssh needs to be fixed.

--- Comment #1 from Jakub Jelen <jjelen at redhat.com> ---
This is probably documentation issue. The code is made that way, the
include directive is not supported on command-line (there you can use
-F switch for specific configuration file).

The following patch should make things clear:

diff --git a/ssh.1 b/ssh.1
