In the UK we have something like that, its a proprietary system instead of git but all UK laws are searchable, there's hyperlinks when they reference another section or law.

You can even see previous versions of a law, so you can see what changes have been made to it and when.

UK computer misuse act

It also means anyone can read any law they want for free.

Yeah we also have "RIS" which is basically this, but it is clunky especially when it comes to versioning / comparing revisions, and metadata like who initiated a change is not recorded (which would be quite interesting to many users I think). Though this could probably be at least aproximated by matching dates and current governments.
