           Version: 4.4.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows

If you use 
[hostfingerprints]
you get the following misleading info 

SHA-1 fingerprint for rsexa5-16.de.ngcintl.com found in legacy
[hostfingerprints] section; if you trust this fingerprint, remove the old SHA-1
fingerprint from [hostfingerprints] and add the following entry to the new
[hostsecurity] section: xxxxx.com:fingerprints=sha256:48:b8:83:7d:81: .. )

I have tried to put 

[hostsecurity] 
xxxxx.com:fingerprints=sha256:48:b8:83:7d:81: ..

which fails. 
After a lot of time web searching i found a working solution in a Mercurial
patch 

[hostsecurity] 
xxxxx.com:fingerprints=sha256:48B8837D81 ..

Please improve the hint accordingly. 
Please provide documents with examples in your online help.
