Removal of tags broke pre-commit configs

[danielpof]

Hi, just wanted to let the project maintainers know that the removal of tags (such as 3.4.0) broke all of our pre-commit configs (which used it as a reference).

I've already resolved the problem for my organization by doing a mass update to all of our repos/projects but hope such breaking changes in the future take in consideration the effort hooks users will have to expend.

Sorry for the inconvenience, which PR broke your pipeline? Could you provide a bit more information? Ideally so we can add tests

[danielpof]

It wasn't a PR but the removal of the tag '3.4.0' from the repo.

.pre-commit-config.yaml references a tag to pull the hooks, in our case we had 3.4.0 and other removed tags, additionally we had pre-commit as a PR validation step.

So the removal of the tag made pre-commit unable to download the hooks making our pre-commit pipeline step fail.

I might be lost here, but we didn't remove any tags. I can see tag v3.4.0 in our repo 🤔

We had been using pre-commit autoupdate and had several repos using the tag without the v now those tags no longer exist. Some examples are 3.4.0, 3.2.2, etc

I can only assume the tags without v were removed as there no history of deletions.
