I agree this is a terrible installation instruction. And I don't use pathogen, I use Vim plugins the way they were originally set up. Not having used Pathogen, I don't know how to work installation using it. If you get rid of Pathogen, to install *any* global plugin like gundo, just put the .vim file into a (possibly new) ~/.vim/plugin directory. That's all you need to do to use the plugin. Some other plugins also require stuff to be copied into "autoload" or "ftplugin" or similar, however most of them will show you the directories needed, just like gundo does in the .zip file. The common thread is that they all go under ~/.vim. There is technically one more step for a full gundo installation. To install the help file, copy it into ~/.vim/doc, go into Vim, and run the command :helptags ~/.vim/doc That's it.
