The skip delta algorithm has been tweaked over the years to be more optimal since using skip deltas towards a shorter history tends to have a negative impact on performance. You probably want to read the file at db/fsfs.conf under your repository. More than likely the reason you're not seeing skip deltas is because you don't have enough history to exceed the max-linear-deltification setting.
