Provide lightweight checkout capability for bitbucket to avoid repository clone for multi-branch pipeline jobs

    • Blue Ocean 1.4 - beta 2

      JENKINS-33273 introduced a lightweight checkout capability to allow SCM implementors to avoid having checkout the scm on the master to read the contents of the Jenkinsfile from the SCM.  The comments in that bug mention that git doesn't offer a way to do so but I would think this is possible to do using Bitbucket APIs to read a particular file's contents on a branch.  

      In our use case, our repository is multi-gigabyte and we have many developers working within it creating many branches so cloning the repo on master for every branch is very costly in terms of time and storage.
