    Description

      JENKINS-33273 introduced a lightweight checkout capability to download a Jenkinsfile from source control without checkout out the entire repository, but it appears this hasn't been implemented for Mercurial: "Lightweight checkout support not available, falling back to full checkout."

            Perhaps it's an option to use the repository browser to access the latest version of the specified Jenkinsfile?

            If my Mercurial source would be "http://myserver:8080/FolderName/RepoName" and the Jenkinsfile is located in "CI/Jenkinsfile", I'm able to get this Jenkinsfile through HTTP on "http://myserver:8080/FolderName/RepoName/raw-file/tip/CI/Jenkinsfile". Perhaps this is an easy solution to avoid the full checkout?
