azure-cli client issues a duplicate command after 2 minutes

[dmitsh]

I'm seeing in some cases that azure-cli client duplicates already issued command after 2 minutes.

I'm attaching deployment-related HTTP requests (5 fields per request) for the resource group.
The first and the last requests are identical:

PreciseTimeStamp
operationName
httpStatusCode
targetUri
userAgent

For some commands, multiple API calls are required so I suspect this is what this is and it's to be expected.
