Yes. IMHO nobody wants to use "pacman -Sqgg" or "pacman -Qqg" to list
packages contained in *some* group. Basically these commands list groups
(with members), not _members of a group_ like "pacman -Sg group".

I agree that this may be not coherent, but imho groupname filtering in
these cases is pointless. So in commit message I should have said that
-q has no effect when no target is specified. If you need this
filtering there too, I can resubmit the patch.

Bye
