In any case you need to get the official emacs bazaar repository
first.

If you have personal changes, create a branch.

Then, either:
1) copy your changed files over the ones in that branch
2) commit the resulting change as one single patch.

Or, if you have more than one change and want to have separate
commits for each, use a merge tool such as WinMerge:
1) compare your directory tree with the new development branch
2) For each feature:
    - copy the relevant chunks that affect the feature
    - commit with some message
    - repeat 2) until no differences are left.

Then you could publish your branch for others to test or improve.
