openssh unix dev - Sep 2000 - scp -2 patch

I can't see why there shouldn't be a '-2' flag for
"scp" when there's one
for "ssh". Am I missing something here?

Attached is a very simple patch for scp.c and scp.1 that introduces a
'-2'
for scp.

I humbly suggest either adding it to scp or removing it from ssh for
consistency.

Not that I can see.  Of course, I think there should be "-1" and
"-2"
options for both scp and ssh, and have modified mine to do this, and
submitted a patch a couple weeks back.
