As already mentioned, the equivalent to git branches is hg bookmarks,
although I'm not sure if convert has been updated since bookmarks were
moved into core.  However, the history graph should be the same (if your
history is free of octopus merges).  Try "hg heads" or, even better,
enable the graphlog extension and perform "hg glog".

Regarding tags, I know is a bit against the usual advice but you could
try the hg-git extension:
