JENKINS-14618

Can this be reopened? There are other issues that had been closed as duplicates of this, and this one is closed. I see it if not a bug, then a huge oversight that there is not a checkbox for whether master should do an SCM checkout as well. I am in the exact same boat as Alexander, the master does a lengthy unnecessary SCM checkout before the slaves start building. I tried to work around this by using a custom workspace for the slaves and reuse it from the master, but the workspace name can not be constructed from the axis values as they are not initialised there yet. The current behaviour is 1) unexpected 2) increases build times by tens of percent for no gain. What good does it do to do two SCM syncs, where one is discarded?

This has been reopened in late 2014 and not closed since.

Re: ignore the checkout on the master

Can't this be resolved somehow? In combination with this JENKINS-22494 and a lot of slave machines, this is pretty annoying, since a random slave is used and repositories are checked out there (which takes up disk space). Is there a workaround?
