Darcs 1.0.9,

./darcs-all --testsuite --nofib --complete get
== running darcs --complete get

darcs failed:  Invalid command '--complete'!



It appears I was confused and that it works if, and only if, --complete 
comes after the command (get).  I wonder how I was supposed to figure 
that out? without, *darcs-all* says
warning: adding --partial, to override use --complete
So I gave --complete as a flag to darcs-all, rather than to darcs get, 
because it seemed like it was the right thing to do.  And then darcs 
gives an error making it sound like it doesn't handle the --complete 
flag! argh.  maybe
warning: adding `--partial', to override use `get --complete'
Although darcs could *also* improve its error message when a flag is 
given before a command is...
