Rev-matching is when you blip the throttle to raise the revs to where they will be when you downshift into a lower gear.

Double-clutching is basically a technique used to take the synchronizers out of the equation when shifting. Basically, you clutch in, move shift lever to neutral, clutch out, clutch back in, shift into the next gear, then clutch out again. So you're clutching twice (hence "double"-clutching) for one shift.
