Since TMerge shows you the three-pane view, your patch doesn't apply
cleanly to your working copy. TMerge automatically fetches the file from
the repository for which the patch was created for.

For example:
* wc is at r100
* user makes modifications
* create the patchfile
-
* wc is already at r120
* apply patchfile : not cleanly possible
* TMerge fetches affected file(s) from repository for r100 (the revision
the patch was created for)
* TMerge shows three-way diff for r100, r120 and your wc

That's why you see modifications in the "mine" view: these are the
modifications done between r100 and r120 (in the example above, your
revisions will vary).
