[JENKINS-51979] subversion checkout fails with SAXException

We are using a multi-branch-pipeline which does polling against subversion. The Jenkinsfile is located at a separate directory so we need to do a separate checkout step to get the real project files.

That checkout step fails in the scripted pipeline with an Exception: 

```
