Sounds like perforce.  I would really NOT like that sort of automatic  
behavior with perforce but I've never used BitKeeper so I don't know  
if the same issues apply.

I WOULD like TextMate to warn if you try to edit a read-only file,  
and if that could be hooked to perform an action, like a version  
control operation.  It could be a sheet something like:

   ALERT! You just tried to change a file opened as read-only.

   { Make Writable }  { Cancel }

And if bundles had registered hooks, you might get some options in  
the sheet like:

   Perforce  -> Checkout for edit
   BitKeeper -> Checkout for edit
