title: I tried to migrate a work item in Azure Devops that has a link to a branch in a git repository but the link did not get migrated over
body: <p>I'm currently learning how to migrate projects from one collection to another and I'm using the VSTS-Sync Migrator tool to do the job.</p>
  
  <p>I have this one work item that has a link to a branch in a repo (it is not a link to a git commit) and after running the migrator tool/script the same work item at the destination project contains everything but the git branch link.</p>
  
  <p>-> I made sure to migrate the code prior to migrating the work items.</p>
  
  <p>-> I am able to manually attach the same link in the migrated work item.</p>
  
  <p>-> PAT token has full access</p>
  
  <p>I've attached pictures of the issues below, the last time I asked a question on StackOverflow the pictures did not make it on so I will also add a description of each picture.</p>
  
  <p>IMG 1: This is the warning message from the migration script. It says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cannot determine repository type from external link: vstfs:///Git/Ref/.....some link....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>IMG 2: This is the migrated work item and under "Development" it shows an exclamation mark with the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Branch not found or no permission to access it.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>IMG 3: This is the work item at source.</p>
