I doubt this is true. The bridging tools may well not support it, but
there's nothing structural about multiple-head repository that would
prevent them to be mirrored in git.
In git, the only way to have something in your history is for it to be
reachable by a ref (for example, a branch name). When you convert an hg
repo with a multi-headed branch to git, you can only choose to represent
one of those heads by a branch name, and the other head will be left
stranded, which means that it cannot be used normally (for example you
cannot push it when you push your branch somewhere) and git gc will
remove it from your repository since it thinks that it's an unneeded commit.
