1. comparing the .nocopyright file with the .nocopyright-file from my
main-branch yields the result: they are the same. Nevertheless, I have
problems with the files. (I'd think it should give no errors of that
kind, as I haven't added new files... ).

2. I've added one specific file (BCC_MAKEFILE) to .nocopyright,
committed the .nocopyright file, and then tried to commit BCC_MAKEFILE.
It still complains about a missing copyright. 

What seems strange to me is that BCC_MAKEFILE should be in the
main-branch .nocopyright file already? or not? Idem for a number of
other files in that directory...
