I've actually implemented a 'git lock' command to lock pathnames from
concurrent editing for a customer. Normally one would say this is a
rather ill and ugly feature for git but there where some reasons to do
it anyways (imagine robots crashing into each other on a production
line because of bad (developer-)communication).

The code is GPL and I can distribute it, but I didn't consider it ready
for an open announcement yet. Noteworthy some problems with msys led
to some ugly solution (the uniq command doesn't know the -z option
there).

I hope this might be useful to you. I'd also like to get contributions
and fixes if there are any problems I am not aware of.

Short into; the doc:

 http://git.pipapo.org/?p=git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/git-lock.txt;h=dcc7a5c34dea657ab5819e8def54e154d5d97219;hb=25ee09cf35daa03a7c2ef10537561a50db2d17b2

the code is available at

 git://git.pipapo.org/git

in the 'ct/git-lock' branch.

It is a bit fallen behind the current git version, I will update/merge
it sometime next (to keep in par with msysgit, thats what is required
here)

	Christian
