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.
For what it's worth, I'd like to add a vote in support of this. I like the idea of bugfixes being applied to previous versions (until the next stable one comes out, say).
