[JIRA] [git-plugin] (JENKINS-32479) multiple git repositories sometimes fail to checkout some of them into subdirectory

Jacob Keller commented on JENKINS-32479   Re: multiple git repositories sometimes fail to checkout some of them into subdirectory Can we get some input from developers of Git plugin and Multiple-SCM plugin? The issue stems from ordering of repositories since the Git Plugin's "clone" operation calls a full delete of the current workspace. I have a possible solution revolving around making the Git Plugin report its actual sub directory using the getModuleRoot() interface, and then having Multiple-SCM "sort"/"order" the repositories in such a way as to avoid checking out into a sub directory first. Another option would be for Multiple SCM to implement for itself "checkout to a sub directory" instead of relying on the plugins to do so themselves. I believe this would be preferred since it would be much more universal, and allow easier correct access since my fix requires both a change to the git plugin and the multiple SCM plugin. Finally it may be possible to not need to remove the working directory when implementing clone() in the Git plugin. However, this requires continued use of the init+fetch setup, which currently breaks other uses such as Git-LFS and should be returned back to clone. There does not appear to be a good way to make git-clone behave correctly and allow cloning into a non-empty directory.
