The git-command telemetry and PR-tracking logic, which already detects gh pr create and pushes, now also matches merge-request creation patterns via a second matcher alongside the existing pull-request one. Creating a GitLab merge request increments the same PR-created counter used for pull requests, and pushed-branch PR links are now tracked even without an existing gh pr view match.
Git operation telemetry extended to GitLab merge requests
Creating a GitLab merge request now counts toward the same PR-created telemetry as a pull request.
