We've gotten a little off-topic talking about double-clutching.

The revs will pretty much take care of themselves on a clutchless upshift. Just takes patience and a gentle touch.

Where you've got to conciously "match revs" is on a clutchless downshift. You have to blip the throttle to get the revs up PAST where they need to be for the gear you're downshifting to, and then drop into the gear just as you would on an upshift.
