Pre-commit installation errors out when used in git submodule

[krassowski]

Description

I tried to setup a jupyterlab extension to install jupyterlab from a branch. To use portal in yarn I wanted to use submodule. Submodule has .git file which is not a folder so precommit hook fails. It would be good to have a way to ignore this failure as currently it just errors out installation

× Preparing editable metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.
