Well, I'm rather late in this discussion, but the point of setting a
freeze date is really to put the developers under some pressure to
dedicate their resources towards realizing alpha 1, rather than
getting side-tracked in their sub-projects.
Branching does the opposite, it encourages developers to continue
their work in both alpha 1 and non-alpha 1 tasks.
