Git doesn't in itself do this... it's possible you have a GUI tool
that's working with the git repository and is preventing you?  I
couldn't say I don't use a gui for git.  A "red" file makes me think
maybe you've had merge issues?

If yourself or your organization would like to learn more about using
Git, this site is a great resource: http://progit.org/book/

In the root of your project there is a hidden directory ".git".  You
can delete that and you will no longer have git for that project.  I
encourage you to learn more about the technology and how to you use it
before you call it a plague
