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,
