Syntax

tf git view /collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl
            /teamproject:TeamProjectIdentifier
            /repository:RepositoryIdentifier
            (/blobId:blobId | /path:path [/commitId:commitId])
            [/output:localfile]
            [/console]
            [/login:username[,password]]
