Interest in locking mechanism?

I have a few friends that still use RCS for their version control
needs.  We have argued over various points between RCS and Git, and
as far as I can tell the one thing RCS has that Git does not is
a locking mechanism.  That is to say, co -l checks out a file and
also gives you a lock on it, preventing others from futzing with it,
and ci -u checks in the file and releases your lock.  This is
useful if you have a shared working copy on a multiuser system or
on a network file system, and you don't want conflicts.

I was wondering if there would be interest in such a feature on
the Git developers side.

Cheers,
Edward
