Research direction

Start by locating the GitRepository model and the repository update operation in the Python API, then compare their exposed fields with the Azure DevOps REST API documentation linked in the issue. Verify how is_disabled is represented and how the update request is built. Done means the SDK can set this property when updating a repository, enabling the stated Azure CLI authentication flow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently this property is just carried along from the corresponding Repository property of the REST API (see e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/git/repositories/update?view=azure-devops-rest-7.2&tabs=HTTP#request-body)
This makes it impossible to leverage the Azure CLIs authentication flows to execute this operation. This feature would enable a number of downstream consumers, e.g. the Azure DevOps Terraform Provider: https://github.com/microsoft/terraform-provider-azuredevops/issues/1138
