Create a file object that obeys the git file locking protocol.

Only read-only and write-only (binary) modes are supported; r+, w+, and a are not. To read and write from the same file, you can take advantage of the fact that opening a file for write does not actually open the file you request.

Returnsa builtin file object or a _GitFile object
NoteSee _GitFile for a description of the file locking protocol.
