We used to use the shell to handle the repo checkout but we found it to be not so reliable and sometimes slower than the plugin.
Also we are checking out multiple repo's and it's much easier to maintain using the multi repo chekcout plugin.
We have ~300k files in the repo with changes that affect thousands of files.. Now when changing the branch to a (very) old branch you get massive calculation.. There was an old defect which is kinda related (
JENKINS-12829) that is now fixed but when we used to hit that bug it took 8+ hours to calculate the changes.We are no longer seeing this specific problem but the calculation can take good half an hour in some cases with the current version of the plugin.
We are trying to speed up our build process and this is one of things that can make a big difference for us.
