Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like a way to run many of these pre-commit hooks in arbitrary subdirectories.

I am creating a repository with the following layout:

.
├── common/
│   └── ...
├── pypkg/
│   ├── setup.py
│   └── ...
├── rpkg/
│   ├── DESCRIPTION
│   └── ...
└── ...

Currently, use-tidy-description, deps-in-desc, and a few other hooks will fail with this repo layout.

Describe the solution you'd like
Each pre-commit hook (if possible) has either a before script that can allow users to change directories or support some type of argument for specifying the working-directory similar to github actions.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative approach would be to support .pre-commit-config.yaml files in subdirectories but that seems out of scope for this project.
