I believe Bazaar now supports fastimport format in both directions.

Interaction between git and Bazaar probably means you lose/munge
VCS-specific metadata (Bazaar cares about revision numbers while git
doesn't support them at all, and the revision ID formats are
timestamp-specific in each VCS, so converting those in a
roundtrippable way would require great care) in each direction, but
with minimal care you should be able to preserve the history dag and
core meta data (author information).
