Update niv fails with: Type tag 'ash' is not recognized. Try upgrading identify and pre-commit?

See the log here: https://github.com/anka-213/cclaw-nix-stuff/runs/1240368729?check_suite_focus=true

I assume it is related to this pull request: https://github.com/cachix/pre-commit-hooks.nix/pull/63

Is there a way to force it to use an older version of pre-commit-hooks.nix, while still updating the other packages?

Good catch!

You should be able to fix that by applying:
