I bolded part of your statement. I only let the clutch out a tiny bit, for just a fraction of a second and push it right back in. Even if I am starting in fifth at a speed I will continue in that gear, I push it back in. The engine spins up on its own before I re-engage to begin another pulse. It is way less jerky this way.
