If Linus/DaveM really don't like -pre/-rc naming, I think 2.6.x.y is
preferable to even/odd.

Just create a 2.6.X repo at each release. For bug fixes to 2.6.X,
commit to this repo, then pull into linux-2.6. For everything else,
pull straight into linux-2.6.

The linux-2.6 repo would be upstream, and linux-2.6.X repo would be
where bugfix-only releases come from.
