I don't know for certain, but I'd guess that it's because one of the build 
triggers is an SCM change. In order for this to work, the SCM configuration, at 
least, needs to be separate from the build itself. Also, in some SCMs you can't 
detect a change without having a working copy.

If you are using one of the other triggers, you could use a shell build step to 
check something out at any point. You would lose Jenkins' change tracking then, 
though.
