- Improve error reporting
- Fix KeyError: 'group_id'
- Truncate Merge Request titles
Enhance error reporting by capturing and logging subprocess output on failure. This ensures that the specific reasons for Git command failures (such as GitLab pre-receive hook rejections) are visible in the logs. Before this change, the script would only report that a command failed with "exit status 1," leaving the actual cause a mystery. Now, it provides the full context needed for debugging.
Rename key `group` to `group_id` of self.gitlab hashmap to avoid
exception below

KeyError: 'group_id'
Truncate Merge Request titles to 255 characters to comply with GitLab API limits. This prevents crashes when syncing GitHub Pull Requests with very long titles and ensures stable comparisons during updates. 1. Creation Logic (sync): Truncates the GitHub pull request title to 255 characters when creating a new Merge Request on GitLab. This prevents the initial ValueError you encountered. 2. Update Logic (field_update): Ensures that if a title is updated later (e.g., someone renames the PR on GitHub), the new title sent to GitLab is also truncated to 255 characters. 3. Comparison Logic (field_equal): Truncates both the GitHub and GitLab titles before comparing them. This is crucial because it prevents the script from thinking the titles are different just because one is 300 characters (on GitHub) and the other is 255 characters (on GitLab), which would otherwise cause an infinite loop of unnecessary update attempts.
