You might try using hg-fastimport.  That is, dump your git repo with
git fast-export, then feed the dump to hg-fastimport.  See
FastImportExtension in the wiki for details.

Note: the fastimport extension is still under development (I'm the
perpetrator, err maintainer), and it's a bit of a PITA to get working.
 But if it works, it should have at least two big advantages over 'hg
convert' for git conversions: renames and branch names.  Please give
it a shot and let me know (via this list) how it goes!
