The lock approach is still used in IC design for some of the Cadence/Synopsis data files which are unmergable binaries. Not precisely sure of the details but I've heard it from other parts of the org.

Similar in video game shops - lots of binary files, or even huge (non-editable by human) text ones.

A lot of engineering is the same. You cannot diff and merge CAD files, so you lock them.
