Mark,

I've not had a problem following the steps (i did it only a few weeks ago).

Can you check your $LILYPOND_GIT/.git/config file and make sure you have 
the ssh:// and not the http:// i.e

url = ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/lilypond.git

This is I believe step #6 of the instructions, that sets this.

Failing all that if you send me git formatted patches, I can at least 
push them for you while you sort this out. We've had some checkins 
today, so you will probably need to make sure that it is rebased (?) 
from current master before you make the patches if you want me to push 
them for you.
