filter-rule for the backup suffix to the end of all your existing excludes

in the list so that it has a high enough priority to be effective (e.g., if

+time-honored options of "bf(--include='*/' --exclude='*')" would work fine
in place of the hide-filter (if that is more natural to you).

the contents of $HOME/.cvsignore, and the value of $CVSIGNORE) you should
