For large updates to projects that haven't updated in a while, I'd love to have a --format-only option to cargo update, to only update the format of the lockfile (e.g. adding hashes to metadata or moving away from the old [root] section) without updating any dependencies. That would make it easier to logically separate substantive changes to dependencies from the format change.

I feel like we abuse cargo update into being a Cargo.lock editor (e.g. the --workspace flag). I wish we had a more dedicated command for it. If we felt ok moving forward with #4269, we could use cargo generate-lockfile.
