If you feed it a standard OSM file it will do the same thing as JOSM does, i.e. add/modify/remove features as indicated by the action= property. > you want to add/change/delete, you have to use the changeset syntax > which enclose data in blocks that explicitely tell if you want to add/ > update/delete the features in that block. Possibly the patched version but the one that was and still is in SVN will completely screw up when given a changeset. I recommend (shameless plug) http://www.openstreetmap.pl/balrog/bulkupload/ for changeset uploads. I also recommend reverting this kinds of failed uploads as soon as you notice it, so as not to add manual work for people (I noticed on a lot of the duplicate country nodes people have been making changes to the tags not noticing they were only editing one of the six identical copies and then wondering why their changes had no effect and risking doing work somebody else already did on a different copy). The changesets such as those adding name:ar= for country nodes are really trivial to revert if noticed in time, not requiring the fancy scripts.
