Ruff checks failing on master

[korverdev]

It appears something's changed with the latest version of ruff, causing the server-side checks to fail with the following output:

codespell_lib/_codespell.py:1003:5: PLR0912 Too many branches (49 > 48)

I was able to recreate this locally. v0.0.254 of the Pre-Commit hook passes all checks, but the latest version, v0.0.280, raises the same error.

Opened a separate issue to discuss a potential long-term solution for this and similar issues:
#2961

Indeed ruff is still evolving rapidly resulting in new CI alerts without actual changes in our codebase (see for example #2796, #2802 or #2834). You just need to change:

max-branches = 48

to:

max-branches = 49

I had already tried to limit the number of branches in #2767, just to please ruff, resulting in artificial and useless changes, more complex code, or even hard to spot regressions. Ended up bumping max-branches from 48 to 50.

Or, alternatively, you can reorganise the code to remove branches, although I don't see anything wrong with multiple similar branches when parsing command line options.

Or perhaps you can add a noqa to the specific function.
