Builds a deployment object that contains the MFT artifacts (sources, transfers, targets, etc) and user property files.  Each build that contains a new transfer should include the full combination of one or more transfers and their associated sources and targets when building the deployment package. Future deployment intended to update the existing transfer can include a subset of the data. For example, if a target changes, only the target needs to be deployed.

• MFT Artifact (all files ending in .xml)
• User properties (all files ending in .properties)
• Other Files (Any file in the SCM not matching the above 2 categories)
