Link support for optimized (limited ref) clones in Azure DevOps

[scaryrawr]

Description

Azure DevOps has a feature called Limited Refs.

The way to use this is to add _optimized to the clone URL instead of the standard URL:

git clone https://dev.azure.com/org/project/_git/_optimized/repo

Some issues that occur here is that Azure DevOps doesn't actually support commit/PR links with _optimized in the path (I should probably file a bug on ADO).

When using GitLens links for viewing commits/PRs on web, it includes the _optimized in the path which isn't handled by ADO, so the links end up getting routed incorrectly.

A work around (which isn't ideal to be fair), is to detect/remove the _optimized in the links so they work correctly with ADO.

I was hoping to find a way to configure this manually or if there's a way to have a custom handler for opening links in VS Code, but thought it would be good to share as a enhancement/feature request.

Thanks!
