[JENKINS-23345] Git Plugin should have an option to use clone instead of init/fetch

git clone is very efficient at downloading large repositories.

git fetch, can take twice as long as it has to check that each object exists.

Our repository has 700-800K objects, it's a moderately sized repo, with a lot of history.

git fetch takes 14 mins, git clone takes about 4 minutes.

It would be nice to have some control over which method is used.
