[arch-general] [arch-gen][flake8] flake8.main.git module no longer available on flake8 v. 1:4.0.1-1, breaking pre-commit flake8 hooks

[Anton Hvornum]

What git --version are you using and how do you setup your pre-hook?
According to the code changelog [1] this "functionality" was removed
but never added back in [1].

But they do support git hooks [2] in a different way perhaps.
