"conan lock create" does not append to lock file
Environment details
OS: WSL Ubuntu 20.04 Conan: 2.0.0
Steps to reproduce
Running:
conan lock create --profile:build: xxx --rpfile:host yyy conanfile.py --lockfile-out new.lock
According to https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/commands/lock/create.html:
I would expect my lock file to be extended every time I run lock create with different configs with that file as output.
What have I misunderstood? How do I get it to extend the file?

I discovered that only when using --lockfile my.lock together with --lockfile-out my.lock it will append to the lockfile!
May I suggest to add this to the documentation!
Yes, worth clarifying. The lockfile is only loaded automatically by default if it is called conan.lock, but for custom names, it is necessary to feed it with --lockfile=my.lock
