-mm is available only as a patchset, not via git. There has been a git version of it, but it's not currently working and hasn't been for 2 months or so.
I mostly use the grab_kernel script that I mentioned. It knows how to download linux-2.6.M and how to apply -rcN, -gitN, and/or -mmN patches to the base (linux-2.6.M).
E.g.: grab_kernel 2.6.23-rc3-git6 $PWD or grab_kernel 2.6.23-rc3-mm1 $PWD
