I also tried
         Copy[[:space:]]of[[:space:]]*
that too does not work.

Thus it looks as though SVN does not quite implement full
globbing syntax.

Having read the Linux/Cygwin man page on globbing,
it seems that that should probably instead be

        Copy[!a-zA-Z0-9_]of[!a-zA-Z0-9_]*

(which works in SVN)
as the [^...] syntax is "undefined" by POSIX.
(I don't know if that's entirely relevant to SVN.)
