If you're asking for the why, distributing a small (couple megabytes at most) patch is a lot easier than redistributing the entire file.

If you're asking for the how, see this handy guide: http://www.srsfkn.biz/2008/11/11/mak...-with-xdelta3/
(xdelta3 is probably the best program for this; it works on both windows and unix, is easy to use and the executable size is small. You can of course use mkvmerge instead but it's a bit more annoying.)
