I agree it's worth improving the error message (and probably the docs too). It's never made clear that relative_to only looks deeper (won't ever generate leading ".." parts) - the closest hint in the docs is that os.path.relpath is different (and that isn't even in the relative_to() section). Tagging this easy/newcomer friendly. If you'd like to work on it, just post here - I'm happy to help get it merged.
