Exactly! Use CVS for your programming projects, and you probably don't
need to mirror anything else. That's probably the Right Way(tm).

Take a look at adjtimex if you want to solve this, you can use it to
modify how fast your clock goes. It affects only the Linux kernel
clock though. I don't know if your distribution does it but AFAIR
Debian writes the Linux kernel clock to the CMOS clock on shutdown.
You can add it to the scripts of your distro if it doesn't do it. Of
course time will still go too fast when Linux isn't running, but if
you run Linux on it all the time, that should solve the problem.

If you don't want CVS, you can probably use rsync.
