autoupdate silent

describe your actual problem

pre-commit autoupdate --repos matches against the passed-in repos here:

pre-commit/pre_commit/commands/autoupdate.py

Line 190 in edad968

if not repos or repo['repo'] in repos

If no repos match, then no futures are created, so the command exits silently.

$ pre-commit autoupdate --repo https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-comimt-hooks
# exits with 0 and prints nothing

Wondering if it would be clearer to log which passed-in repos don't match any repos in the pre-commit config to make this easier to debug.

pre-commit --version

pre-commit 4.6.0

   it might (?) be better -- though the usual program usually outputs something on success anyway

   To be precise it prints out a log line for each future only.

   $ pre-commit autoupdate --freeze --repo https://github.com/zizmorcore/zizmor-pre-commit --repo https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff --repo https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks --repo doesnotexist
   [https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks] already up to date!
   [https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff] updating ec5ed61d83ae336c65c4c15396a23772ce9d2fcc -> 4.2.1 (frozen)

   (doesnotexist has no output since no future is created)

   slept on this and I think the following should happen (yeah technically a breaking change but tbh it's just an oversight that this was allowed to pass)

   any specified --repo that doesn't match any in the config should be an error

   sg I opened a PR to log a warning (in the short-term) and another PR to return an error (for 6-12 months later?)
