There is no problem with this, hg log reports commits in the order they were added to the repository. By default, the convert extension generates the commit more or less per branch, and not by date. If you want the latter there is a --datesort option, but beware it might makes the converted repository much larger than without for compression won't work as well.

To better validate your repo, use the graphlog or hgk extension.
