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 ".

I have been using this for at least a year with git; just put
"ControlMaster auto" into your .ssh/config.
