This is because your patch is against the 0.20 branch, not against trunk. Jenkins pre commit only works for trunk right now. If the issue also exists on trunk then please provide a patch for trunk too, if it is a 1.0/0.20 specific issue then you can run the pre commit tests yourself and just post the results.
