Not directly, still that's doable.

The closest thing I would consider here is to get the output of
something like 'git rev-parse --short HEAD` and attach it to
PG_VERSION with --with-extra-version. I do that in my local builds
because I always want to know from which commit I am building
something. Then, PG_VERSION could be stored with the entries while
hashing the stats key with the version string, the error code, the
source file name and/or the line number for uniqueness. 32 bytes of
room would be most likely enough when it comes to the PG_VERSION data
stored in the stats entries.
