No, there's no notification mechanism.

No.

I'd advise against setting up a cron job in order to pull periodic
updates from the SVN repository. Rather send yourself a reminder.

You can also check the CIA for updates. It provides a RSS feed.

You could write yourself some script to fetch multiple property values
you're interested in and then preprocess the data with gnuplot or the
like:

cat << EOF | gtk-gnutella --shell
print session_id
print start_stamp
print ul_byte_count
print dl_byte_count
EOF

The "session_id" property allows you to check whether gtk-gnutella was
restarted between two shell commands. At the moment there are not
many statistics available from the shell interface because they are
not implemented as properties and only visible in the GUI.
