Why is git -cvsimport missing one core set of patches?

Question

This is a continuation of the previous question .

I can view the result of cvsps (saved in the ~ / .cvsps directory) and see the patch set for a large complex commit. But this commit does not appear when I do cvsimport to update an existing git repository. I know that git -cvsimport will ignore patches that are newer than 10 minutes in an attempt to avoid importing the CVS compilation, which is incomplete. I think I also heard that he will skip patches for which the linked branch cannot be identified. What other reasons can git -cvsimport call to ignore my commit? How can I debug this?

Here is some cvsps output:

patchset: 50064
