f24fbb04c9 note modified a bit, then reviewed/approved by jmartin
Ansible 2.0 has depricated the “ssh” from ansible_ssh_user,
ansible_ssh_host, and ansible_ssh_port to become ansible_user,
ansible_host, and ansible_port. If you are using a version of
Ansible prior to 2.0, you should continue using the older style
variables (ansible_ssh_*). These shorter variables are ignored,
without warning, in older versions of Ansible.

6af2b2a4cb added note about ansible_ssh_* change
added a note like the following to each file hit with unlabled 2.0 changes...
Ansible 2.0 moved away from using ansible_ssh_* variables to accepting
ansible_* variables. If you are using a version of Ansible prior to 2.0,
you should continue using the older style variables (ansible_ssh_*), such
as ansible_ssh_user instead of ansible_user and ansible_ssh_port instead of
ansible_port, which appear in the following content. These shorter variables
are ignored, without warning, in older versions of Ansible.

3ad9b4cba6 Rework additional ssh argument handling
Now we have the following ways to set additional arguments:

1. [ssh_connection]ssh_args in ansible.cfg: global setting, prepended to
   every command line for ssh/scp/sftp. Overrides default ControlPersist
   settings.
2. ansible_ssh_common_args inventory variable. Appended to every command
   line for ssh/scp/sftp. Used in addition to ssh_args, if set above, or
   the default settings.
3. ansible_{sftp,scp,ssh}_extra_args inventory variables. Appended to
   every command line for the relevant binary only. Used in addition to
   #1 and #2, if set above, or the default settings.
3. Using the --ssh-common-args or --{sftp,scp,ssh}-extra-args command
   line options (which are overriden by #2 and #3 above).

This preserves backwards compatibility (for ssh_args in ansible.cfg),
but also permits global settings (e.g. ProxyCommand via _common_args) or
ssh-specific options (e.g. -R via ssh_extra_args).

Fixes #12576

    Don't disable GSSAPI/Pubkey authentication when using --ask-pass

    This commit is based on a bug report and PR by kolbyjack (#6846) which
    was subsequently closed and rebased as #11690. The original problem was:

        «The password on the delegated host is different from the one I
        provided on the command line, so it had to use the pubkey, and the
        main host doesn't have a pubkey on it yet, so it had to use the
        password.»

    (This commit is revised and included here because #11690 would conflict
    with the changes in #11908 otherwise.)

    Closes #11690

Date:   Thu Aug 13 11:16:42 2015 +0530

    Be more explicit about why SSH arguments are added

    This adds vvvvv log messages that spell out in detail where each SSH
    command-line argument is obtained from.

    Unfortunately, we can't be sure if, say, self._play_context.remote_user
    is obtained from ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER in the environment, remote_user in
    ansible.cfg, -u on the command line, or an ansible_ssh_user setting in
    the inventory or on a task or play. In some cases, e.g. timeout, we
    can't even be sure if it was set by the user or just a default.

    Nevertheless, on the theory that at five v's you can use all the hints
    available, I've mentioned the possible sources in the log messages.

    Note that this caveat applies only to the arguments that ssh.py adds by
    itself. In the case of ssh_args and ssh_extra_args, we know where they
    are from, and say so, though we can't say WHERE in the inventory they
    may be set (e.g. in host_vars or group_vars etc.).

    Add a FAQ entry about ansible_ssh_extra_args

commit 49f8edd035
Author: Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@2ndQuadrant.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 10 20:48:50 2015 +0530

    Allow ansible_ssh_args to be set as an inventory variable

    Before this change, ssh_args could be set only in the [ssh_connection]
    section of ansible.cfg, and was applied to all hosts. Now it's possible
    to set ansible_ssh_args as an inventory variable (directly, or through
    group_vars or host_vars) to selectively override the global setting.

    Note that the default ControlPath settings are applied only if ssh_args
    is not set, and this is true of ansible_ssh_args as well. So if you want
    to override ssh_args but continue to set ControlPath, you'll need to
    repeat the appropriate options when setting ansible_ssh_args.

    (If you only need to add options to the default ssh_args, you may be
    able to use the ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable instead.)

    Allow overriding ansible_ssh_extra_args on the command-line

    This patch makes it possible to do:

        ansible somehost -m setup \
            --ssh-extra-args '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q user@bouncer.example.com"'

    This overrides the inventory setting, if any, of ansible_ssh_extra_args.

    Based on a patch originally by @Richard2ndQuadrant.

commit b023ace8a8
Author: Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@2ndQuadrant.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 10 19:06:19 2015 +0530

    Add an ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable

    This can be used to configure a per-host or per-group ProxyCommand to
    connect to hosts through a jumphost, e.g.:

        inventory:
            [gatewayed]
            foo ansible_ssh_host=192.0.2.1

        group_vars/gatewayed.yml:
            ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bounceuser@gateway.example.com"'

    Note that this variable is used in addition to any ssh_args configured
    in the [ssh_connection] section of ansible.cfg (so you don't need to
    repeat the ControlPath settings in ansible_ssh_extra_args).

02589ffbba Fix formatting of Groups of Groups
The example in the Groups of Groups section was being rendered as a quote.
Switching to the `::` notation causes it to render as preformatted text instead.
This could have also been done with a `.. code:` block, but I chose to be
consistent with other sections in the document.

fd27afdc0d Adding ansible_shell_type and basic environment construction on it
Previously we assumed the shell on the target systems were 'sh'-
compliant when formatting environment variables preceding command
strings. This patch corrects that by basing the target shell type
on the DEFAULT_EXECUTABLE setting, which can be overridden on a
per-host basis using the inventory variable 'ansible_shell_type'.
