Help system not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. git clone https://github.com/vim-scripts/vimwiki.git
2. let pathogen load vimwiki from bundle
3. try :h vimwiki, :h vimwiki-syntax or other

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected info about vimwiki usage instead I got "E149: Sorry, no help for 
vimwiki-syntax".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vimwiki from git
pathogen from git
vim 7.3 (with set nocompatible, filetype plugin and syntax)

Please provide any additional information below.
pathogen seems to be loading vimwiki as per output of :scriptnames; loaded 
plugins -

plugin/vimwiki.vim
autoload/vimwiki/base.vim
syntax/vimwiki.vim
syntax/vimwiki_default.vim
ftplugin/vimwiki.vim

and doc/vimwiki.txt is present on disk.

There is no help file called vimwiki-syntax, but ":help vimwiki" works for me.

To be sure, I erased my vim installation and git cloned the version you are 
using.  I did not use pathogen, instead moving the files into place manually.  

From my .vim directory, the vimwiki 1.2 installation looks like this:

$ find . -exec grep -l vimwiki \{\} \; 

./autoload/vimwiki/base.vim
./autoload/vimwiki/diary.vim
./autoload/vimwiki/html.vim
./autoload/vimwiki/lst.vim
./autoload/vimwiki/tbl.vim
./doc/vimwiki.txt
./ftplugin/vimwiki.vim
./plugin/vimwiki.vim
./syntax/vimwiki.vim
./syntax/vimwiki_default.vim
./syntax/vimwiki_media.vim
