Hey,
I like Broadleaf commerce and I'd like to use it and contribute to it if possible. For past years I've been contributing to many projects and I have to say that using Git for SCM and github.com makes it really easy for both contributors and committers.
With git and github.com the contribution process is quite easy. I would fork your branch off, create a branch for a new feature or bug fix, work on that for a while, then rebase what needed and sent a pull request to you (committers) that you could evaluate and commit, or we could discuss about that on github.
Doing this process with SVN on sourcefoge is terribly annoying (in comparison with git and gitbub) and it wastes time on both sides. Not talking about all those troubles I had with SVN ... that I would never want to have again.
Is there any chance that you would migrate to git / github eventually ? If I look at the technologies broadleaf is using (all perfect), the SVN choice for SCM is kinda surprising.
