Nice idea to add a "check-out lock" for documents. That isn't something that we would want to put into the core of the DMS system, but it is definitely something that would work as a plug-in. Are you up for creating this functionality?
The way to do it would be to use the SilverStripe extension mechanism:
http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/reference/dataextensionYou could create an extension that adds new $db fields with a variable for "document locked" and maybe a reference to the "Member ID" who holds the lock. Then you would create a method in your extensions like this:
public function updateCMSFields(FieldList $fields) {}A method that overrides the CMS rendering and removes the "replace document" button if the lock is active. Perhaps replacing the button with a message like "User Mick has locked this document".

Morning,
Agreed this wouldn't be core, I will have a play at seeing what I can come up with over the next week or so.
Cheers
