git-remote-helpers.txt: should it be gitremote-helpers.txt?

Max Horn's email today prompted me to try reading the git-remote-helpers man page, so I tried:

    $ git help remote-helpers
    No manual entry for gitremote-helpers

But "man git-remote-helpers" does work.

It turns out that "builtin/help.c" maps its argument to a page by prepending "git-" if given the name of a Git command and "git" otherwise.

Does this mean that "git-remote-helpers.txt" should lose the first hyphen or is help.c not being clever enough in some way?
