Not tested, not perfect, but I think it will do the job in normal cases:

(CVS|\\..*(?!htaccess)|.*~|.*\\.bak)

\\..*(?!htaccess) will match a dot possibly followed by something but it 
can't end with htaccess. So it will also include .myhtaccess in 
packaging but that won't be a big problem I guess.
