Can anyone tell me what the "providerName" string is for?
It's for the name of the source provider. If you're using TFVC or Azure Devops-native Git, you don't need to use this API -- there are TFVC and Git specific APIs.
If you're using an external Git provider such as GitHub or BitBucket, this is the right place to be. You need to tell the API which external provider you're trying to query.
This is why there is a page listed directly above the "List Branches" entry for a "List" API -- it lists the available source providers for your account.
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/sourceproviders?api-version=5.0-preview.1
Calling that API should return something like:
