Currently, profiles in source control are stored with everything as it's all stored in a single file (apex class permissions, layout assignments, etc). This is done by Salesforce.

When using the new "delta deploy" or any comparison that doesn't include every possible dependent component (ex. apex, layouts, etc) - you see many "new" or "deleted" items related to the fact that source control returns everything within the profile whereas Salesforce only returns specific permissions based on the retrieved components.

It'd be great if Gearset could replicate this behavior with source control to match Salesforce's behavior, where it'll obviously have to the pull the profile with everything included, but then could do some extra filtering so the comparison or CI job only looks at the relevant sub-component pieces within the file.

This would ensure a more expected diff visualization or delta deploy behavior.
