    Locking files for exclusive access is a very old way of working. Things like `rcs` did that. Modern version control systems work using a merge concurrency model and since you've moved to git, you should embrace it rather than try to force it to behave like an old tool. – Noufal Ibrahim Jun 10 '13 at 11:09

    What is the actual problem you are trying to solve? – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Jun 10 '13 at 11:13

There's no way you can lock a src (I guess it's a code file, and not a binary one) with Git. Git has little related to VSS, and if you wish to lock files, you should decide if using Subversion is a better aproach to solve your problems, since SVN does support file locking.

The idea of Git is letting you change anything you want and then, merging the changes multiple users have done to it.
