az repos pr create --delete-source-branch

[erikrok]

Describe the bug

In a CI/CD workflow in Azure Releases, I automatically create a PR after a stage. When this PR is approved and completed, I want it to be automatically be deleted, and set the flag --delete-source-branch true. Documentation explains: Delete the source branch after the pull request has been completed and merged into the target branch.

The PR get created successfully, but the branch is not deleted when I complete the PR.

Note that this PR is created as the user Project Collection Build Service ({OrgName}), using the: environment token in Azure Releases: AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT and $(System.AccessToken)

Hi all, I also notice the same issue with Azure DevOps UI (I think that the UI use APIs too). The source branch is never deleted.
