--- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- "Public releases and weekly snapshots of the development sources are also available via HTTPS." "Necessary to build GCC documentation during development because the generated output files are not included in the repository. They are included in releases." >From https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html Also I suspect building the snapshot with the generated files will no longer be considered a snapshot but a snap release instead. Since it is not exactly what is in the git repo anymore.
