I really can't shake the feeling that you guys just don't get git!

You never need to freeze pulls with git. Ever! It just slows down 
development.

The work flow is simple enough:

1. Time for a release
2. Create a release branch, it is feature frozen
3. You can keep pulling feature into master, no problem
4. You can pull regression/bug fixes into the release branch
5. A release is made, merge the release branch into master and 
continue.

I don't know why I bothered typing this out - the discussion has 
been had time and time again with no progress made.
