Title:
  RequestTTY option is not respected when declared in .ssh/config

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using this .ssh/config file on a up-to-date ubuntu 12.10 64bits using
  ssh 1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1

    Host xxxx.xxxxxx.com
    RequestTTY yes

  $ ssh  xxxx.xxxxxx.com screen -x
  Error: "Must be connected to a terminal."    <--- config option is not respected !

  While entering the same config directly in the command line works
  nicely :

  $ ssh -o "RequestTTY yes" free.zboubi.com screen -x
  Works ok

  $ ssh -t free.zboubi.com screen -x
  Works ok
