1. Pick a directory to work inside.. something like ~/bitcoin works. The
structure I use looks like this:
(~ is your home directory)
~/bitcoin
~/bitcoin/trunk # source code
~/bitcoin/bitcoin # Upstream source tree
~/bitcoin/src # source code (symlink to ~/bitcoin/bitcoin/src)
~/bitcoin/deps # dependencies.. like libraries and headers needed to compile

2. Check out the trunk version of the bitcoin code from subversion:
This will make ~/bitcoin/trunk for you with all the files from subversion.
This will make ~/bitcoin/bitcoin for you with all the files from git. This puts
the actual sources in ~/bitcoin/bitcoin/src and create a symlink src in
~/bitcoin to this location.
