I tried using "Check out to a sub-directory" option in Git SCM configuration with absolute path to required directory.
My hope was that word "sub-directory" is just a hint for default behaviour until absolute path is specified.
But it didn't work:

Notifying upstream projects of job completion
I'm using environment where all (chained and inter-related) jobs share common (absolute) local Git repositories.
Proposed solution
The same field "Check out to a sub-directory" can be renamed into "Check out to a directory" with explanation that unless path is absolute, the specified directory is relative to workspace.
