Description
The documentation does not specify how to format TFVC folder paths.
Which one of these is it?
- $/Project/Folder1,$/Project/Folder2
- /Folder1,/Folder2
- Folder1,Folder2
I can do a PR on the existing Read-Host doc (which is currently "Specify comma separated list of folders to Exclude from Indexing") to clarify this once I know what is the correct format.
Additionally, I'm assuming this exclusion works recursively on all sub folders. What if I want to exclude only that folder?

Research direction
Start with ExcludedTfvcFoldersForIndexing.ps1 and the existing Read-Host documentation that says "Specify comma separated list of folders to Exclude from Indexing." Confirm the valid TFVC folder syntax and whether exclusions apply recursively or only to the named folder, then update that documentation to state the answers clearly.
