Hello,

I was wondering if there were any guides about how to begin
contributing to nHibernate?

I have created several jira bugs, all with fixes (because in my job we
can't normally wait for someone else to fix a problem we have!) that's
why I like open source: we have the ability to troubleshoot fix issues
ourselves, or find a fix from the community.

I'd like to know a couple things:

Are there any guides for retrieving and building NH source from SVN? I
have only downloaded and compiled the GA source from the download
page.

I have seen in jira file attachments named .patch... how are these
created, and are they the "desired" way to receive updates? I have
just been attaching the updated CS files... I assume .patch would be
best, but not sure where this comes from.

I wrote my first update to a unit test fixture related to a bug I was
troubleshooting, but I feel like I got "lucky" in that it could be
tested on just the dialect, completely isolated from the rest of the
engine. In the test fixtures, how do you write more complicated tests
without a dependency on an actual database? How would the dependencies
(mapping files, C# code to invoke, etc) get packaged as a single test?

Thanks for any guidance or information on how I can better contribute
to a product that I use every day and fight to defend the decision to
use almost as often!

Cheers,
Thunder
