I was always a bit nervous about putting a network request into a precommit hook. This will fail the fetch and continue the commit if it doesn't fetch within 10 seconds. If it fails the only cost is that the prettier and license diffs may be a bit outdated, not worth blocking a commit. But it seems useful to at least attempt to fetch first, if it doesn't take too long.
