GPS uses GPS time which avoids leap seconds.

If you want to introduce something like a leap second, you don't need a 
frequency transient.  You can adjust the way that you label the cycles.

For sidereal time, the UTC-sidereal offset changes by a second when a leap 
second is introduced so the net result is constant.
