I don't know if it will be better, but at the time when I needed to
convert e2fsprogs, I liked the results of hg-fast-export, found at:

        url = git://repo.or.cz/fast-export.git

You might hg-fast-import and see if it does any better for your repo.

Does it have a large number of branches or tags, by any chance?
