Misleading error message when entry script is present but not executable #1159

Hi! I'm getting acquainted with pre-commit (I love it by the way). I tried adding a prepare-commit-msg script with

-   repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: some-id
        name: Some Name
        stages: [prepare-commit-msg]
        entry: ./bin/prepare-commit-msg.sh
        language: script

At first I neglected to chmod +x bin/prepare-commit-msg.sh, so when I tried it out, I got the message

Executable `[path]/bin/prepare-commit-msg.sh` not found

The file was present, it just wasn't marked executable. I squinted for a short while looking for a typo somewhere before realizing my mistake.
