Hi

Nautilus as any other GNOME components has its code in git, which you
can view online at http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/.
And yes Nautilus manages the autorun warning that pops up, as pointing
previous this is
http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/src/nautilus-autorun-software.c.

The Git web interface gives you the instruction to retrieve the code.
