Thanks, the -f did it, but I've "-f'ed" myself a lot with git, so avoid it.

My ~/.ssh/config has "host" names for orgs and systems, but some programs
(git?/lftp?/sftp?/?) get confused if you use those in other connection strings:
"what do you mean 'cygwin@cygwin.com@cygwin@cygwin.com.com'", but your git
command also worked without complaints.

Cheers, thanks!
I will wait until finished changing and reviews before pushing tags in future.

Not at this time. Would bloat up your tiny script! ;^>
