Uncommited changes have never been in Git, you can't "rollback" to them, so your problem really is how to recover deleted files. See http://superuser.com/questions/671773/how-to-recover-deleted-files-on-windows – sashoalm Mar 18 '14 at 06:16

Were your changes staged but uncommitted, or were they unstaged, as well? – sashoalm Mar 18 '14 at 09:45

"uncommitted changes" means local repo (even though you have a remote repo on amazon ec2)
That means you must have added (git add) files to a local clone, then do a git reset --hard.
If that is the case, you can still find those added files with a git fsck, as described in Recover files that were added to the index but then removed by a git reset:
- first, do a full backup of your current repo
- then try a
git fsck --full --unreachable --no-reflog
