Hello
I'm sympathetic, being a noob here myself. I just discovered this a day
or two ago;
srcds_run -help
srcds_run is actually just a bash script wrapper/launcher for
srcds_linux. Reading it can be very informative (less srcds_run).
Numerous comments explain some features of the script that are not
documented anywhere else.
In regards to the update script overwriting user-modified files, the
Valve devs would be wise to look at how APT/RPM package management
systems handles user-modified files.
Any further info on this subject would be welcome. Otherwise, I'm going
to have to keep backups of my entire install directory before updates,
then get more specific with my backup list over time as I understand
what files I need to modify and are likely to be overridden during an
update.
If anyone has reading recommendations on updating and updating for
multiple installations, and management of multiple game server
installations in general, that would be appreciated. I need to do some
reading here on the subject soon.

couldn't find those commands anywhere. What other commands are we missing
out on?

And it won't overwrite anything.

Would it be possible to add a command line option to not download maps?
That
would save some hardrive space and reduce update times/install times
expecially on servers that don't use the default maps. I don't see a
reason
for keeping all the maps if they will never be used. If you delete them
then
on the next update it will just redownload them.. just an idea. It also
gets
annoying to have to rewrite overwritten maplists etc.
