 The workgroup shell starts with a clean environment:  the ''vpkg_require r/default'' from the original shell did not carry over into the workgroup shell.  The workgroup shell's prompt is working as before.  This is the desired behavior.
+<note important>Note that this is **not** the desired behavior when ''workgroup'' is used to execute commands (using the ''-C'' flag).  In that mode, all variables in the parent shell will be passed to the command when it is executed.</note>
+===== Implementation =====
+Updates to the code have been pushed to the [[https://gitlab.com/jtfrey/workgroup|official repository]].  The updated version of the ''workgroup'' command is available under ''/opt/shared/workgroup/20200723/bin'' on Caviness and Farber for testing.
