Is that like how Perforce handles it?

I wouldn't know, I never used Perforce. But there's a walkthrough for that: http://git-annex.branchable.com/walkthrough/modifying_annexe...

That's without the Assistant, which further simplifies the latter steps by automatically taking care of committing and such. You just do unlock <file>, edit, then add <file>.
