Well, this is weird. The first question is about testing/kde, the second is about extra/kde!

Obviously in this case, we should stop when we find the first non-empty kde group in a repo (testing). This behavior is similar to "-S literal" handling.

However, in the "disjoint repositories" case we may have packages from multimedia group in both core and extra etc. In this case probably we want to consider all packages from multimedia group. (However, our "whole content" message is still printed per database, which is odd.)

Also, unlike a package, you can't specify which repo to pull a group from. You can't do pacman -S testing/gnome. This would go some way to helping the situation
