gcloud preview app deploy uploads all souce code files everytime in python project taking long time

After i recently updated the gcloud components with gcloud components update to version 108.0.0, i noticed the gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml command has started taking too long every time (about 15 minutes) for my project. Before this it only used to take about a minute to complete.

I figured out that using gcloud preview app deploy --verbosity info app.yaml displays progress of deployment process and I noticed every file in source code is being uploaded every time i deploy including the files in lib directory which has a number of packages installed, about 2000 files in it so this is where the delay is coming from. Since I am new to appengine, i dont know if this is normal.

The project exists inside a folder of git repo, and i noticed after every deploy, 2 files in default directory, source-context.json and source-contexts.json, are being created and have information about git repo inside. I feel that can somehow be relevant.

I went through a number of relevant questions here but couldnt figure out the issue. It would be great if this can be resolved if its an issue at all because its a big inconvenience having to wait 15 mins to deploy every time.

I only started using google appengine a month ago so please dont mind if the question is incorrect. Please let me know if additional info is needed to resolve this. Thanks

UPDATE: I am using gcloud sdk on ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Yes, this is the expected behaviour, each deployment is standalone, no assumption is made about anything being "already deployed", all app's artifacts are uploaded at every deployment.

Update: Kekito's comment suggests different tools may actually behave differently. My answer applies to the linux version of the Python SDK, regardless of deploying a new version or re-deploying the same version.
