You can do that with the (totally non-obvious) --pipe option.  This also
changes darcs' behavior significantly, regarding how it prompts the user.
I could also add a --date option, but at least when calling darcs from
perl, the --pipe option is good, since it means you don't have to try to
quote your values for the shell.
