Special:Verison caches the VCS version information for each extension
[0]. In theory this cache will be invalidated each time the git hash
of $IP is updated. It should be possible to write a maintenance script
to ensure that the caches are purged for the current hash of $IP. In
practice though it is only a cosmetic issue.
