I have just tested this out and it is not broken; it is working fine. So
whenever you have a new version of denemo from git (ie with the same
version number) first 
mv ~/.denemo-1.0.9 ~/HIDE.denemo-1.0.9

then run the new denemo and choose Edit->Customize Commands ... ->Manage
Command Set

choose "Load a Custom Command Set" and navigate to

~/HIDE.denemo-1.0.9/actions
and open the Default.shortcuts file which you have there.
The do "Save as Default Command Set"
and you should have all the new commands and all your old shortcuts.

Of course, if it is a new version number then you don't have to mv
the .denemo-nnn directory you can just load your custom command set from
the old one as the new version of Denemo will be using a new .denemo-xxx
directory.
