I will be "robust".

You may be making use of Git commands but you are still using
Subversion, you are not using Git.

I don't see how you can be doing a freeze-free process if you declare a
freeze. There are fundamental and crucial differences between master
HEAD in Git and trunk in Subversion. This whole thread is about not
using Subversion trunk thinking when using Git master HEAD.

To say more would be to repeat what has already been repeated.
