Set skipDefaultCheckout to false when using lightweight checkout for Jenkinsfile

Issue Type:	Improvement
Assignee:	Unassigned
Components:	pipeline
Created:	2018-02-23 11:16
Environment:	Jenkins ver. 2.89.3
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Karl Wirth

If 'skipDefaultCheckout' option is not included in Jenkinsfile pipeline definition then pipeline job will trigger a full SCM checkout. This makes no sense when lightweight checkout has been ticked because the user only wants the Jenkinsfile(s).

Would be good if 'skipDefaultCheckout(false)' is the default when using lightweight checkout or provide a tick box on the job configuration page to set it (under 'Lightweight checkout' tick-box).

Andrew Bayer resolved as Won't Fix

skipDefaultCheckout is unrelated to lightweight checkouts - it's for when you're entering an agent, while lightweight checkouts are run on the master in order to get the Jenkinsfile in the first place.
