New-AzureWebsite should let me connect to a private GitHub repository

[jdhuntington]

I'd like to create a new azure website from a private github repository that belongs to an organization that I'm a member of.

I ran the following transcript, and instead of the website being created, I was prompted to pick from only public repositories that belong to me or my organizations.

I would also like the ability to specify the branch of the github repository that the website should deploy.

> $creds = Get-Credential

cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Credential
> Get-AzureSubscription -current

[... snip ...]

> New-AzureWebsite -name testwebsite546 -GithubCredentials $creds -GitHub -GithubRepository "MyOrganization/OrgPrivateRepo"

@jdhuntington AFAIK, this is just not supported in the API. I believe it is intentional that you cannot use private github repositories for websites. Assigning to the websites time for comment, anyway.
