hmmm, it seems JC and the boys at id have changed some of these in the latest release, i've fixed the ones i know about, but undoubtably a cpl will be wrong. Live with it.
NB. If you're ever in doubt of a command, type what you know is right then hit TAB, if it's a valid command q3 will fill in the rest of it for you.
ie, typing cg_third then hitting tab will result in cg_thirdperson etc.

If these aren't enough or are just plain wrong, you can try going to the ShugaShack, i'm prety sure they have an exhaustive list there.
