That's cool - didn't know a rework of the ssh interactions had happened. It would be really good if we could detect if there's an existing "master" connection and piggyback over that (see options -M and -O). Reading man ssh_config it looks like we may be able to say something along the lines of " -o ControlMaster=auto ".

cheers,
martin
