Description Patrick Ohly 2017-11-24 08:51:06 UTC 
I have an entry in .ssh/config where I set some parameters, including the port number, for a certain target machine. That port number gets overwritten with "-P 22" when using "devtool deploy-target <recipe> <my-target>", causing the operation to fail.

ssh should only be called with -P when -P/--port were explicitly set when invoking devtool. This is a slight change of behavior, but as 22 is the default already, users shouldn't notice.

Fix for this finally merged, my apologies for the delay (it got held up in a series with some broken patches):
