Daily snapshots of what? mm-tree doesn't have daily snapshots.
Andrew Morton hasn't released a -mm patchset lately. He's been making
"mmotm" (mm of the moment) releases/announcements.

Forget about 2.6.28-rc2-mm1. Start using the -mmotm patches that are found
in http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

One easy way is to download these scripts from
http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/ :
get-mmotm
get-base-and-mmotm
grab_kernel
get-base-and-mmotm calls the other 2 scripts and downloads the base kernel
version that mmotm applies to, then downloads mmotm, then applies the mmotm
patchset to the base tree.
