The *.texi files which are the sources for most of the documentation are
there, including on git branches.
The *.info files generated from those using the gcc Makefiles are there in
release tarballs, but not on git branches, one needs to build gcc and
when building it it will be generated.
If you mean other formats, that needs other tools to generate them, and
some of them can be created with e.g. make pdf in gcc directory or make html
etc., or there is the maintainer-scripts/update_web_docs_git script that can
generate what is on the web too.
There is also maintainer-scripts/update_web_docs_libstdcxx_git for libstdc++
docs.
