           Summary: .ssh/config settings are incompletely applied with -e
                    or --rsh
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: kesten.broughton at gmail.com

.ssh/config settings are not applied at all without coaxing.
The IdentityFile setting is not passed to rsync.

For better formatting, see the report here.

If i force it with -F "path to .ssh/conf" then the IdentityFile is used
correctly, but the jump-hosting fails.

sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync -az -e "ssh -F /Users/kbroughton/.ssh/config -i
/Users/kbroughton/.ssh/identities/21ct_dev1_key"  /var/data/sources/data.tar.gz
cloud-user at 21ct-dev1-pivot:/home/cloud-user

Error without -F or -i
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.0]

Error with hostname 
/var/lib/lynxeon/sources/LYNXeon3_fraud_demo_data --progress
ssh: Could not resolve hostname 21ct-dev1-lynx01: nodename nor servname
provided, or not known
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.0]

ssh 21ct-dev1-lynx01 
works

rsync -e "ssh -F /Users/kbroughton/.ssh/config" /local_src
10.x.y.z:/remote_dest 
works

ENVIRONMENT
local Mac maverics
both [default=2.6.9] and homebrew installed 3.1.0 were tried, with no
difference.
Remote centos6.5 rsync 3.0.9

I would expect that by default or with a CLI option rsync would read the local
~/.ssh/config file and apply ALL of its settings including jump-hosting when
the -e or -rsh option is used.
