is:issue relpath

describe your issue

pre-commit will fail with ValueError: path is on mount 'C:', start on mount 'D:' when the config file is on C:\ but the git repository is on D:\

Steps to reproduce:

• Create config file on your C: drive (for example %USERPROFILE%\.pre-commit-config.yaml)
• Create git repo on D: drive
• Run pre-commit: pre-commit run --config=%USERPROFILE%\.pre-commit-config.yaml

Commenting out line 164 in main.py (args.config = os.path.relpath(args.config)) fixes this issue. Is it necessary that the config path is relative to the working directory?

   it's not necessary that it's a relative path, but it does make error messages better

   feel free to send a patch

   I'd be open to creating a Pull Request for this. Which option would you prefer?

   1. Remove the os.relpath completely -> Worse error messages
   2. Wrap the os.relpath in a try/except -> pythonic, will keep error messages the same as they are right now except in this edge case
   3. Compare the drive of the two paths using os.path.splitdrive before using os.relpath, effectively 2. but not using try/except

   3 sounds error prone 1 sounds bad so probably something like 2
