The page at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute goes over setting up the trunk development workspace and should help you get started. What do you mean by "most stable"?

Using a slightly-lagged git mirror or the subversion repository is your choice -- I prefer to use the former while working. The only part to remember about using git is to use the --no-prefix operator in git-diff command while generating patches for contribution via the JIRA. -- Harsh J Customer Ops.
