@colindean thanks for this. really useful! learn something new every day!

I added NF to skip blank lines, not sure if would be a problem in the long run but you can avoid a trailing -o = %

... IdentitiesOnly=yes -o LogLevel=FATAL -o = %

Also works nicely with rsync:

OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | awk -v ORS=' ' 'NF {print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`
rsync -avz -e "ssh ${OPTIONS}" default:/tmp/test.txt ~/Downloads/

I get Host directive not supported as a command-line option error.
Solution is here https://gist.github.com/geedew/11289350

OPTIONS=`vagrant ssh-config | grep -v '^Host ' | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print "-o " $1 "=" $2}'`

For those who need sudo privilege, try $ vagrant sudo-rsync.
