Indeed, if the file is open with unsaved modifications, you may even
not want Emacs/DVC to edit is (I hate automatic tools mixing with my
handwritten code). I'd do that like

(when (.mtn-ignore has unsaved modifications)
   (prompt-for-save))
(when (.mtn-ignore still has unsaved modifications)
   (abort))
