Hi!

We would like to propose an option to configure sparse checkout paths separately for

• the initial checkout on the master node, when (often) only the Jenkinsfile is wanted
• the "checkout scm" step

Or at least, an option to disable sparse checkouts for "checkout scm" while still performing them when the Master node just needs the Jenkinsfile.

We have a large git repository with many files, and the runs benefit a lot from setting "Sparse Checkout paths" to just "Jenkinsfile", as this both conserves space and time.

But then "checkout scm" will also just check out the Jenkinsfile. Our current ugly workaround is putting this code in the Jenkinsfile:

checkout scm
sh 'git config core.sparsecheckout false'
sh 'git checkout --ignore-skip-worktree-bits – .'

Thank you for a very useful plugin!
