Yup, -mm consists of

- 71 git trees (origin.patch plus 70 git-foo.patch) (some may be empty)

  - The URL for each of these can be obtained from the first line of
    git-foo.patch, in http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

- Nine quilt trees, pulled from various opendirs

- squillions of other patches which are only in -mm.


Interesting factoid: -mm's series file was started on 1 Dec 2002 and is at
its 16,231st revision.  I'm surprised it hasn't worn out.
