I find this much easier:
julia> cd(Pkg.dir("BustedPkg"))
# The next is optional, but recommended
julia> ;git checkout -b myinitials/myfixedbranch
julia> edit("src/BustedPkg.jl")
julia> ;git commit -a -m "Fix broken stuff"
julia> Pkg.submit("BustedPkg")
The last line is probably the main thing you were missing.
