terraform force-unlock doesn't work

[andrey-parkhomets]

Looks like unlock doesn't work,

to reproduce run and interrupt with ctlr+c until lock released

terraform-backend-git --access-logs git terraform apply

repeat step and get message about existing lock

and finally try to unlock:

➜  tf ~/bin/terraform-backend-git --access-logs git  terraform force-unlock -force f835bc81-3964-1391-81a9-e6b5f098bc52
