I am attempting to build PX4-Autopilot V1.12.3 on Ubuntu 18.04. The release was cloned from Release Stable Release v1.12.3 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub and then put into a private BitBucket Repository. When I attempt to build, I get the following (note, I did a make px4_fmu-v5_default clean first):
coop@user-VirtualBox:~/PX4-Autopilot$ make px4_fmu-v5_default

What is interesting is, px_update_git_header.py line 123 test for existence of folder src/lib/ecl/.git. There is no .git folder under src/lib/ecl, yet line 125 is executed.
Ideas ?
