Codespell pre-commit hooks totally failing following the release of setuptools-scm==8.0.0

Following the release of setuptools-scm==8.0.0 around an hour ago, I believe all newly-installed codespell pre-commit hooks are failing with the following error.

Looks like this is an issue with setuptools-scm, so codespell might not have to do much other than wait for a fix.

pypa/setuptools-scm#905

Looks like this has been resolved upstream.

Not so. Opened a PR to fix the immediate issue: #3100
