Quitting immediately is always the best bet. When it looks like
you've lost lots of groups because you hit C-g, you probably haven't
lost them, just interrupted it while it was building the list, so you
can safely save and quit. I only use Q when I really think lots has
gone wrong.
(I also save all the time, so hitting Q wouldn't be so bad.)
