.pre-commit directory is not cleaned up

See original GitHub issue

I noticed at one point that my ~/.pre-commit directory was 3G in size, which seems pretty large.

I asked around and @struys said:

jtwang: we don’t do garbage collection so when you get a new version of hooks, the old one stays there jtwang: you can also use pre-commit clean to remove the files rm’ing the directory directly isn’t a great idea jtwang: mind filing a ticket on pre-commit - https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit we should add some form of GC based on the last time you used a hook repo
