See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_(software_engineering)

In git's incarnation of it, presumably the idea is that new features do not get merged to 'master' (while they still would be merged to 'pu' and perhaps 'next').

See also <http://sites.google.com/site/maintnotes/> for some direct discussion of the branches used by git.git.

Hope that helps, Jonathan [1]
