spack install for ACCESS-ESM1.6 fails because of unknown git ref

[manodeep]

Continuing to follow the README instructions, I attempted to install the ESM1.6 package with spack and ran into the following error:

[~/codes/access-nri/ACCESS-ESM1.6 @gadi05] spack install -v
==> Error: dev_2024.12.0 is not a valid git ref for access-esm1p6

For more context, here is the workflow and some debug info:
