Not in the info format, those are binary files (.info files).  Instead,
the source code (in the doc/ directory) has the documentation in TeXinfo
format (.texi files).

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/ has all versions going back to 2.95.3,
just look a bit further down?  :-)

But yeah, just   git log -p gcc/doc/   will tell you most.  Maybe not in
the best presentation for what you need -- but usually it is best to
have multiple representations and use what most suitable in any
particular situation :-)
