Curt, What Max said. I had the same thing more then once over the
years with my old Jeep. As a stopgap you can pump the pedal a few
times in the morning to get it to work right but in the end you
will have to replace either the master or slave cyl. Whichever is
leaking. Keep an eye on the fluid level it will go down. Or at
least it always has for me in similar situations.

Assuming the "short throw" means that you don't feel any resistance
until the pedal is pushed most of the way to the floor, what you are
describing is a leak which is allowing fluid out and air in, and
as you
drive the car the air is vibrated out faster than the leak allows
it to
enter, so your clutch action gets better and better as you drive
the car
(i.e. it is self bleeding - I used the self-bleeding method following
replacement of a clutch MC on a 123 car and slave cylinder on a 201
car).
