That could definitely be an option (sounds familiar, it might be there from before distributed builds, from someone just trying to save disk space, or even for security, to not leave the source code lying around.) However the current implementation "prefers" to build on the same agent it used before, in order to save the time and load of doing a fresh checkout for every build. -- Wendy
