I think a better answer to this is that this is not a typical use case for people or teams using Jenkins. Although I can see some value to something like this, it may not have enough support in general to change the behavior of Jenkins. I had a situation in the past for a similar need. At that time, the code base was sufficiently small that the checkout was fast enough for my needs. It sounds like another tool or process may suit your needs better if this is not the case.
