What it is really meant to convey is that "just because you are about
ready to depart and we've made radio contact with N-numbers, don't
think it means that radio contact has been established for the purpose
of entering my Class C - let's talk after you depart"


What it really means is "remain outside Class C airspace until I say
something that permits entry."



These are both right. Using the tail number is enough to establish radio
contact and grants permission to enter the Class C. That is exactly why the
extra "remain clear of the Class C" was included in the departure clearance.
If the tail number were not enough, then that would not be necessary.

After departure, the tail number and a radar contact are enough radio
contact to enter the class C. If the controller needed something different,
it would be added as a "Cessna 1234, radar contact, remain clear of the
class C."
