[PATCH] [pre-commit] Avoid tabs in .pre-commit-config.yaml

[PATCH] [pre-commit] Avoid tabs in .pre-commit-config.yaml

[Tom de Vries]

When editing .pre-commit-config.yaml with emacs, I tend to get tab-indented
lines, which causes:
...
$ git commit -a
An error has occurred: InvalidConfigError:
==> File .pre-commit-config.yaml
=====> while scanning for the next token
found character that cannot start any token
  in "<unicode string>", line 150, column 1
...

Fix this by adding a "Local Variables" section.

FWIW I installed yaml-mode, which automatically sets indent-tabs-mode to
nil.

But this patch is fine, not everyone will have yaml-mode.

Thanks for the review, committed.

FWIW, I rely heavily on emacs, but I tend to use a fairly basic 
configuration.  I wouldn't mind though if yaml-mode gets installed by
default.

Thanks,
