The problem is detecting if or when the latest -mm got created. If I have to do it by hand, it becomes a major PITA. I could use RSS to do this, but some patches may still hit the wrong folder. What's more it would create unnecessary network load. There are sometimes only a few minutes between "patch in -mm1" and "patch in -mm2".
