Recently, I was using TWS to "clone" permission set data and noticed a lack of xml content.
This is all the data provided via a Pull from Salesforce using TWS:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PermissionSet xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<label>Approve ALL Quotes - Community</label>
<userLicense>Partner Community</userLicense>
</PermissionSet>
Meanwhile, the ANT retrieveCode task pulls a file containing 10361 lines which includes tags for:
<classAccesses>
<fieldPermissions>
<pageAccess>
<userlicense>
<recordTypeVisibilities>
I went ahead a loaded a project in Eclipse to handle this deploy, but I'd like to stay away from that resource hog.
