Kevin described the proper way.  In the job definition, select "Additional
Behaviours" and the item "Check out to specific local branch" if you need a
local branch in the repository.

I believe the Jenkins git plugin does not use a remote tracking branch by
default because it assumes most continuous integration jobs do not need to
push changes.  If you don't need to push changes, then checkout to a
detached head meets the need without the complexity of managing branches.
