Description

Looks like the help/error message is getting confused with the "dotnet restore" version of the argument.

Repro Steps

> nuget.exe restore

NU1004: The packages lock file is inconsistent with the project dependencies so restore can't be run in locked mode. Disable the RestoreLockedMode MSBuild property or pass an explicit --force-evaluate option to run restore to update the lock file.

Ok sure, let's try.

> nuget.exe restore  --force-evaluate
Unknown option: '--force-evaluate'
NuGet.Commands.CommandException: Unknown option: '--force-evaluate'
   at NuGet.CommandLine.CommandLineParser.GetPartialOptionMatch[TVal](IEnumerable`1 source, Func`2 getDisplayName, Func`2 getAltName, String option, String value)
   at NuGet.CommandLine.CommandLineParser.ExtractOptions(ICommand command, IEnumerator`1 argsEnumerator)
   at NuGet.CommandLine.CommandLineParser.ParseCommandLine(IEnumerable`1 commandLineArgs)
   at NuGet.CommandLine.Program.MainCore(String workingDirectory, String[] args)

Research direction
The issue is in NuGet.exe's help/error message. The relevant code is in the NuGet.CommandLine project, specifically in CommandLineParser.GetPartialOptionMatch. The fix is to replace the incorrect argument form ' force evaluate' with ' ForceEvaluate'. No linked PRs; the issue is open and likely still valid.
