Luke provided diffs for the RCS files so the the tnftp and tnftpd
commits are now properly merged.

The latest version is at

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/wiz/othersrc.hg-20230708-2.tar.gz

Except for the questions opened in
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-repository/2023/07/08/msg000775.html
(about named vs. unnamed branches, and release tags) I'm not aware of
any further work that needs to be done on this conversion

Please take a close look at this repository, so that hopefully we can
soon declare this 'final'.

Thanks,
 Thomas
