[JENKINS-26443] Checkout to root directory deletes ALL files in the directory

When this plugin does a checkout (and on some occasions an update) it first deletes all files and folders in the checkout directory. The delete operation includes files and folders which are unrelated to the svn checkout.

This causes problems when checking out SonarQube scripts and when using local maven repositories in the workspace. Some maven tasks also require the checkout directory to be the same as the build location.
