The last sentence in the first paragraph said that "the earliest value |
takes precedence" when the same keyword has multiple values. This is true for
SSH1 and OpenSSH, but for SSH2 it is the latest value that takes precedence.
The sentence has been changed to:
"Every matching section applies, and if a keyword is set more than once
with different values, only one value applies. For SSH1 and OpenSSH,
the earliest value takes precedence, whereas for SSH2 the latest value
wins."
