Whar are Rational Team Concert Patches?

RTC Infocneter for how to create Patches in RTC:

Note that this states:

Note: Only ASCII text files can be included in a patch. For information about changing the properties of a file that is incorrectly classified as a binary file, see Specifying file properties and line delimiter types. I have proceeded as follows: 1. Create an empty model and share it in RTC 2. Add one class, Class1, and create a Patch. Save the Patch on the file system 3. Delete Class1 from the model, add an Actor an a UseCase. 4. Save, Check-In, and Deliver the model 5. Now, attempt to Apply the Patch and Auto Resolve.

What is the effect of creating Patches of Rational Software Architect Models?

the UI shows: "None of these changes could be accepted. You will have to merge them manually.The Text in brackets should explain why the change could not be accepted." The text in brakets states: "Model1.emx - 29 lines (unable to match context lines)." So I looked at the patch file in a text editor, and I saw that it contains a textual diff of the model files.

RSA Compare and Merge needs to receive the complete model file (and its fragments) so that it can compare it with another version of the same.
