Reinstall VAM the way its recommended in the manual section 2. Its enough to clone vim-addon-manager into place using git - this should happen automatically if you follow the recommended setup.

You have this issue because you installed VAM in a bogues way: You somehow got the .txt file from the vim site which only tells you how to install it - because keeping www.vim.org up to date was too much work all the time.

Wondering what prevents you from using a post-commit hook (since there is no outgoing hook in git). Since some time I generate README file, wiki page on mercurial site (aurum) and www.vim.org page from the help file in one turn with other release-related jobs in addition (except www.vim.org, it is done only on release) to doing this before each commit (pre-commit hook). Though I do not do this on each commit nothing can prevent it from being done.
