Perhaps something like this is better (now I actually tried it out):

]rm -rf linux-2.6/.git
]cp -r linux-2.6 peter-2.6
...Initialize a repo in linux-2.6 with cg-init or similar and commit.
...Remove, add and change files in peter-2.6.
]mv linux-2.6/.git peter-2.6/.git
]cd peter-2.6/
]git-status

How does this work for you?
