Specifically, the overrides now go by file order instead of automatically sorting by `Host` value length. In addition, the first value found per config key (e.g. `Port`, `User` etc) wins, instead of the last. Thanks to Jan Brauer for the contribution. -* #36: Support new server two-factor authentication option +* 'ssh' 36: Support new server two-factor authentication option (`RequiredAuthentications2`), at least re: combining key-based & password auth.
