Add support for listing Git repositories in the Recycle Bin

[Copilot]

This PR adds support for retrieving Git repositories from the Recycle Bin to the Get-TfsGitRepository cmdlet by introducing a new -IncludeRecycleBin parameter.

Changes Made

Core Implementation

• Added IncludeRecycleBin SwitchParameter to the Get-TfsGitRepository cmdlet
• Enhanced controller logic to call GetRecycleBinRepositoriesAsync() when the parameter is specified
• Integrated recycle bin search into all existing repository lookup patterns:
  • Exact name matching
  • GUID-based lookup
  • Wildcard pattern matching
  • Multiple repository inputs

API Integration

The implementation leverages the existing GitHttpClient.GetRecycleBinRepositoriesAsync() method, which calls the Azure DevOps REST API endpoint:

GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/recycleBin/repositories?api-version=7.1

Usage Examples

Get all repositories including those in the recycle bin:

Get-TfsGitRepository -Repository '*' -IncludeRecycleBin -Project 'MyProject'

Find a specific deleted repository:

Get-TfsGitRepository -Repository 'DeletedRepo' -IncludeRecycleBin -Project 'MyProject'

Find deleted repositories matching a pattern:

Get-TfsGitRepository -Repository 'Old*' -IncludeRecycleBin -Project 'MyProject'

Output Types

When -IncludeRecycleBin is used, the cmdlet returns:

• GitRepository objects for active repositories
• GitDeletedRepository objects for deleted repositories from the recycle bin

The GitDeletedRepository objects include properties like Id, Name, ProjectReference, DeletedBy, CreatedDate, and DeletedDate.

Testing and Documentation

• Comprehensive test coverage for all parameter combinations and edge cases
• Complete documentation with usage examples and API references
• Backward compatibility maintained - existing functionality unchanged when parameter not used

Key Features

• ✅ Efficient implementation: Single API call for recycle bin data per repository search
• ✅ Wildcard support: Full pattern matching for deleted repositories
• ✅ Parameter compatibility: Works seamlessly with existing -IncludeParent and -Default parameters
• ✅ Multiple input support: Handles arrays of repository names/patterns
• ✅ Error handling: Graceful handling of API failures and missing repositories

Fixes #241.

[!WARNING]

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• http://www.microsoft.com:80/pkiops/crl/Microsoft%20Identity%20Verification%20Root%20Certificate%20Authority%202020.crl
  • Triggering command: dotnet build CSharp/TfsCmdlets.sln (http block)
• http://www.microsoft.com:80/pkiops/crl/Microsoft%20Public%20RSA%20Timestamping%20CA%202020.crl
  • Triggering command: dotnet build CSharp/TfsCmdlets.sln (http block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list
