By editing .git/remotes/origin and replacing "rsync://rsync." with
"git://git." (I think the rest is identical, but you better check).

No. As long you don't modify anything under .git you can always get to
any state of your kernel tree you ever had (assuming you _use_ git, of
course).

Or you can just revert your changes after you've played enough with
them: "git reset --hard".
