Ahh, it looks like cloning a repo only creates bookmarks for the remote's own branches. So if you were to `git checkout` each of the branches in your local clone, and then re-clone locally with hg, you'd get all the branches.

I'm not sure what the right behavior is there, but we might be able to make hg-git smarter about that somehow. You're welcome to file an issue at: <https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git/issues>
