ESP Insights Project commit: HEAD-HASH-NOTFOUND

Steps to reproduce.

I have a ESP-Matter project:

ESP-IDF and ESP-Matter are in a subfolder of my Matter project esp/esp-matter, esp/esp-idf and esp/idf-tools

How I install it:

initialize.sh

#!/bin/bash
git submodule update --init --recursive

install.sh

#!/bin/bash
export IDF_PATH=$PWD/esp/esp-idf
export IDF_TOOLS_PATH=$PWD/esp/idf-tools
export PATH=$PWD/esp/esp-idf/tools:$PATH

./esp/esp-idf/install.sh esp32
./esp/esp-matter/install.sh

export.sh

#!/bin/bash
export IDF_TOOLS_PATH=$PWD/esp/idf-tools
export IDF_PATH=$PWD/esp/esp-idf
export PATH=$PWD/esp/esp-idf/tools:$PATH
export PATH=$PWD/esp/esp-tools/tools:$PATH
source esp/esp-idf/export.sh
source esp/esp-matter/export.sh

and then idf.py build

Temporarily (illegally) fixed by renaming

to
build/esp-idf/espressif__esp_insights/CMakeFiles/git-data/head-ref

I have this same problem, and have been working on it all morning... It boils down to some "git" conflict...

See attached... If I have my folder structure like this, it will not compile. If I remove the ".git" folder it will. The .git" is a private repository, actually on Amazon CodeCommit, not GitHub, but that shouldn't matter.

"firmware" is my project, "light" is an ESP-MATTER example. Both won't build unless ".git" is removed.

Hope this helps figure out why this is occurring...

@Tim4497 , please make sure that you follow all the steps given below:

• If you are using particular esp-matter release , please check that you are using the recommended idf version.
  for ex: For latest esp-matter it is recommended to use idf version specified here.
• Please make sure that your esp-idf commit used with esp-matter is not dirty.
• In esp-idf, run git submodule update --init --recursive -f and do a install and export.
• Please follow the steps in above link to setup esp-matter and build the example.
