As far as I know, that is the expected behavior. That's how it behaves for me, and I believe that is how it has behaved for as long as I've used multi-configuration jobs.
If you're concerned about the overhead of the additional copy of the repository, you could consider defining a reference repository with the "Additional Behaviours" under "Advanced clone options" is a field for the absolute path to a bare reference repository. If that is defined and available, command line git will use it for those portions of the object store which the reference repository can satisfy. With a 3 GB git repository I have, it reduces the fetch time dramatically.
