Yeah, it was pretty popular for a while but I doubt many people really do it because of it’s shortcomings. I guess if you spent most of your time in feature freezes trying to stabilise the upcoming release of your product, but I’ve often felt it’s better to either just have a few feature branches queued ready to merge once the master branch is tagged and released, or to branch master into a release branch once you have a feature freeze and only commit bug fixes to that. But then you have the annoyance of having to cherry-pick features between the branches.
