RE: Contributing to Subversion

Thanks for the advice! I'll get to reading and I hope to pick up a
bite-sized task in the near future.

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...
