Does Git now have any C struct version history tracking mechanism?

Hi, all.
* Background
Such a requirement came into my mind when I am tracking a gloomy C struct , with lengthy list of elements which are either elaborated or opaque. So I use git blame to track it down and found that its original version is quite simple and intuitive. So I think I could just slice out every snapshot of this struct, reading every changelog , to get a better knowledge of what it is and why it should be like this.
It seems quite helpful but the process is quite cumbersome. So I wonder if there is already some mechanism fulfilling my requirement in Git. If it doesn't, would it be worthy adding one ?
Thanks
