With -mm we get those nice little automatic emails saying you've put the patch into -mm, which removes one of the main reasons for wanting to be able to get an up-to-date image of your tree. The other reason, of course, is to be able to see if a patch I'm about to send conflicts with something you have already taken, and rebase it if necessary.
