Please supply the exact commands that you used.  There is no telling
what went wrong.  Have another look at the README, and tell us which
commands do not work, or what is missing.

Look at the README.  It explains to run `git log' in order to find
the correct MY-FIRST-CHANGE committish from the git commit messages.

Please try sending them using git, if you can.  A zip file is also ok.

Git *is* really complicated and not very well documented.  Being easily
usable [by novices] and just doing the thing you expect are not deemed
as important as with some other VC projects.
