Bad git executable

This is the full message:

  Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "C:\Users\AHaferbu\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.9.6\lib\site-packages\git\__init__.py", line 83, in <module>
      refresh()
    File "C:\Users\AHaferbu\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.9.6\lib\site-packages\git\__init__.py", line 73, in refresh
      if not Git.refresh(path=path):
    File "C:\Users\AHaferbu\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.9.6\lib\site-packages\git\cmd.py", line 278, in refresh
      raise ImportError(err)

  ImportError: Bad git executable.

  The git executable must be specified in one of the following ways:

      - be included in your $PATH
      - be set via $GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE
      - explicitly set via git.refresh()
 
  All git commands will error until this is rectified.

This error message could be much more helpful.

Which git executable is it trying to run? Why? Where did it find that path? Is it using the PATH? Is it using GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE?
