Given that pcre2's symbols are all prefixed with pcre2_ (I only checked http://www.pcre.org/current/doc/html/pcre2api.html) and we do not see any hits from "git grep pcre2", I do not think you can just "configure" Git to use it. Unless pcre2 library has a drop-in replacement backward compatibility mode with pcre library, that is. It probably is possible to use PCRE2 with Git by adding similar amount of code to grep.[ch] as we have support for pcre and that would be the way you tell Git to use PCRE2, but I think that is probably not the questino you are asking.
