Support multiplexing sessions with ControlPersist SSH options

[klauern]

We have some users that are using sigil with the ProxyCommand through tools like Ansible and Chef Knife. We're getting some ThrottlingExceptions as sessions and commands are exiting and entering too quickly.

In looking at this, what would make it possible to implement support for reusing SSH sessions? I would like our users to add this to their ~/.ssh/config but this doesn't appear to be supported:

Host *
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%r@%h-%p
ControlPersist 600

Thanks for reporting. I'll take a look at it during the weekend.

Hello @danmx,

Did you have a chance this weekend to look at this?

Unfortunately only briefly, I need to schedule some free time for it.

@klauern from Thursday I'll be on holidays so I'll finally find some time to work on some of the issues
