Um, why will it drift?

Turn on ntp. Really. ntp does a phenomally good job of keeping clocks synchronized while still maintaining monotonicity (which is required for reliable source control timestamps).

With pool.ntp.org providing automagic time servers, there really isn't any good reason not to use it anymore.

ntp will actually work out what the consistent drift in your clock is and cancel it out. It's that good. However, if you really are drifting that badly, it's probably time to replace the battery on the motherboard.
