I guess you're looking for sharepoint or SVN 'lock' like feature. I don't think git allows you to 'lock' files. Pop-ups are also out of the question. I don't think you will find a feature like this in git. Especially on non text based document I do get you would want to but unfortunately it's not meant to do this. Just commit your changes, and the 'second' editor will see that something is up when he fetches and then tries to commit his changes based on previous commit (which precedes your changes).
