Ok, I can see that.
Though, this problem is still quite common for some of my users, who
mostly work on binary files.

Then what about some simple GUI, which allows breaking that kind of
locks?
The simplest one would be a 'unlock' menu item in the context menu in
the 'check for modifications' dialog.
If you added a new file in place of that deleted-locked one, the dialog
shows you the lock information for the added file.

Sincerely yours,
Ivan Gerasimov
