Go to Special:Version and search for parsoid, you will find a entry with a version, but no git link like the others extensions. Please add one. Maybe this is a problem on wikimedia, than move it to other component.
The Parsoid entry is actually erroneous: it links to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid, but it should link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Parsoid. And the extension is not needed from MediaWiki 1.24 onwards, so we should really just uninstall it in production. I've filed bug 69961 for that. The general question of versioning a collection of independent services is a good one. Since VE is the component that uses Parsoid, I'd suggest that perhaps VE should be the one who uses the Parsoid API to get a version # and git hash for Parsoid. Or maybe there needs to be a Special:ServicesVersion for that.
Change 156038 had a related patch set uploaded by Cscott: Make it clear this is the parsoid extension, not parsoid itself. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/156038
FWIW, the only way I know to determine what version of Parsoid is running in production is https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Parsoid#Post-deploy_checks I don't think the production parsoid servers are directly accessible from the outside internet, so you can't do this without access to tin.
subbu points out that http://parsoid-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org/_version points to the production servers, so it *is* possible to get the git version hash without access to tin. This bug should be split in two: a) the Parsoid *extension* probably does want a git hash added to its version string. b) The Parsoid *service* (and other services, like OCG) should probably report their versions somewhere in a consistent manner.

Actually, not fixed yet. Hmm.

This probably is actually fixed, but it's masked by bug 70696.
Confirmed on http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Version
