Description Robert Munteanu CLA 2021-03-05 10:28:00 EST 
(Actually running 5.11.0.202103031150-rc1)

I have a SSH config that in turn points to other configurations

$ cat $HOME/.ssh/config

Include config.d/*

EGit (JGit?) does not follow the configuration and therefore the SSH host configuration is not correctly applied, leading to my being unable to make any remote calls to my Git repo from within Eclipse.

"Include" is not implemented. That's mentioned at https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/FAQ#SSH_config .

It's certainly something that could be improved. Doing do is not super trivial, though; the existing ssh config file handling caches data; so to properly refresh that cache, it would then also have to check whether the included files have changed.
