Yes, daily mainline is either by daily *gitN patches or by using a linux-2.6.git
tree that you update at least once per day.

mmotm is announced on linux-kernel mailing list.  It is available as a tarball
of patches against mainline, e.g.:

mmotm-2010-0311-1313 ... applies to: 2.6.34-rc1

or in a git tree (somewhat delayed):

The mm-of-the-moment snapshot 2010-03-11-13-13 has been uploaded to

   http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

and will soon be available at

   git://zen-kernel.org/kernel/mmotm.git

See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/mmotm-readme.txt for more info.
