the HACKING file (at the root of the source tree) gives a suggested order
for looking at source files (and other good advice about how to get
started).

being relatively new to subversion hacking myself, i can tell you that
i started out by looking at those files, reading the design document,
and reading the book... but it was all very abstract until i picked a
little task, and stepped through the code in a debugger until i
understood the relevant bits of code...
