If you meant more diagnistics from Git, then I think they are in place, but pygit2 does not display them (that is, it reads and possibly parses them itself).
You can possibly run your Python code while having at least GIT_TRACE=1 in the environment (see the output of `git help git` for the various environment variables having the word "TRACE" in their names for ways to get more copious outputs) and see whether you'll be able to get that trace printed - Git prints which command it calls and with which arguments; you will then be able to call them by hand and see exactly how they fail.
If you ask about better diagnistics in pygit2, then this question is misdirected, I'm afraid, as pygit2 is not being developed using this mailing list - ask in Discussions or issues tracker at [1] instead.
