The plugin only needs the sub-directories and files in ftplugin and
syntax. They are essential for the plugin to work. When you already have those directories, you can put the files into there. Otherwise, you'll have to make them in your .vim directory.

License and Release notes are not essential. The Read-me and
detailed_description are for your own reference, a short how-to or
'manual'. indent_patch I don't know, seems a description of the last
changes.

Yes it does

When you cloned it the right way, all files will be put in the proper
directories. I must confess, that I sometimes miss the right place, and
have to correct things by hand.

New plugins always have to be experienced. I have very few, and often
delete them after trying.

There are a lot of sites that describe the installation of plugins. As
a non-techie, most of them are not clear to me. That is why I installed
the files by hand.
