These files are semaphores and make visible that some user on some machine is
editing the file and has changed its contents while the file system still
contains an elder, not yet updated and saved version.
I don't know how to change this (not editing? Instantaneously auto-saving?). It
might be useful to make dired/dired-x not show these (dired-mode-hook,
dired-omit-files).
