Git SCM Checkout: Cloning on both server and agent

Using Jenkins Ask a question
1

Hello,
I was wondering about the GIT SCM Checkout option.
When i use it, it clones the git repository both on the server and agent. This can take up alot of space, is there a way to only clone on the agent?

Edit: I just found out about the SkipDefaultCheckoutOption.
So with this i could I skip the checkout on the server and then only checkout on my agent? And if so do features like SCM polling still work normally when the repository is not present on the controller server?
