title: In Jenkins, how to checkout a project into a specific directory (using GIT)
body: <p>Sorry for the 'svn' style - we are in a process of migration from SVN to GIT (including our CI Jenkins environment).</p>
  
  <p>What we need is to be able to make Jenkins to checkout (or should I say clone?) the GIT project (repository?) into a specific directory. We've tried some refspecs magic but it wasn't too obvious to understand and use successfully.</p>
  
  <p>Furthermore, if in the same Jenkins project we need to checkout several private GitHub repositories into several separate dirs under a project root, how can we do it please?</p>
  
  <p>We have GitHub plugin installed. Hope we've phrased the things right.</p>
