Sure. First off, gnucash has migrated from svn to git a couple of years back. 
So you'd want to aks for git instead.

That detail aside, the easiest way to (passively) study code changes is on 
github. The gnucash project page on github is https://github.com/Gnucash.
The project manages several gnucash related git repositories. The one where 
you'll find your particular answer will be
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash (which manages the code of the program 
itself).

Next, as this was a small bugfix, it will have been committed to the maint 
branch, which is where we track all changes intended for the stable releases. 
The github interface will start with the master branch by default though, so 
you'd have to change to the maint branch by clicking on the "Branch" button on 
the webpage I mentioned above.

At this point the webpage will show the files and directories as they are in 
the most recent commit of the maint branch. If you want to find my particular 
change you'll have to look at the repository history instead. You can go there 
by clicking on "<big number> commits".

My change will be in the list, under March 4.

Note that github is merely a fancy frontend to the git version management 
system (with nice added features). To really understand how all this works 
you'll need a minimal understanding of how git itself works. More information 
on this can be found on our git wiki page
