Hi Patrick, Regarding your first question, yes, aliasing (relocating) a gadget is transparent to the user. I have not aliased any of my gadgets, but from what I've seen and read, your end users will keep their user prefs.
Tagging versions in SVN to keep track of major revisions is a good idea, but I would strongly suggest you do not submit a revision tag of your gadget in the directory, otherwise, as you commented, you would end up aliasing your gadget for each major revision. I would think that the best option would be to submit a version with a tag you move to the production version (a "prod" tag). I personally serve my gadget from my hosting servers, so I have not experimented much with the different options to use SVN tagging to identify the production version of the gadget.
