CVS will use the first entry that matches, so you need to reorder to put
the more specific entries first and the more general entries last.  The
patterns are case sensitive, but you can use character classes to make
the specification easier.  Also, there's no need to specify -k or -m if
it matches the default.  So, the above could be:

        *.[Rr][Tt][Ff] -m 'COPY'
        *.[Tt][Xx][Tt]
        * -k 'b'

This doesn't work in client/server mode, however, unless you're running
the current development version of CVS on the client.
