You'd think valve would be familiar with, say, svn or other type of
repository technology. Then an update would be automerged with your
files automatically
still, you can always use motdfile and mapcyclefile cvars to point to
other filenames that wont get overwritten.
doen'st help with gameinfo.txt though.

Bonjour Procyon,
I never launch game with '-autoupdate'.
Every morning a script make a backup of some files (motd, mapcycle
...) then launch an update with "./steam" command line.
Then, it restore backuped files and check the gameinfo.txt with a
script from metamod.
This way I never loose motd and mapcycle, metamod is alway ok and
it solves memory leak problem.

When I first started running TF2 servers I made the mistake of editing
config files that came with steam. I think it was the motd file, it got
immediately overwritten in the next update. Then I understood why they
didn't release a server.cfg on steam, because people would have their
server configs overwritten and I'm sure people put alot of time into
configuring their servers. Still they could release a server.sample.cfg
that people would have to copy/rename to server.cfg or something other
instead.
My question is: How do you guys best deal with the issue that steam is
overwriting files?
I know metamod:source is recommending a patch script that updates
gameinfo.txt after a steam update.
Is this the recommended way to go if I wanted to change a few parameters
in srcds_run for example, a patch script?
The reason I'm asking is I want to switch to sv_pure 1 with a whitelist,
but I didn't find any pure_server_whitelist.txt under the tf/ directory.
If I add it, do I risk that it'd be overwritten if they add it to steam
in a later update. If so can I specify an alternative file name for the
whitelist with a cvar such as the motdfile setting for the motd file. Or
is there another way to prevent config files from being overwritten by
future updates?
