[snip]

My understanding is that the shell expands "*.cpp" before invoking
the svn utility. The svn utility never sees that you typed "*.cpp";
it just sees the full expanded list of files. If your shell is
expanding "*.cpp" to include a file ending in ".cpp~" that sounds
like a bug in the shell.

You could try "dir *.cpp" and see what files it is selecting. If it
includes your .cpp~ file, then there's the problem. And if it
doesn't... then I'm not sure.

I have no experience with cvs (or the Windows shell, really) so I
can't comment on why cvs is behaving differently for you.
