I didn't try to get a linear history, so that's a given... 

I think the issue might be, that what Mercurial has are the diffs. 

The last revision of your SourceSafe repo includes a few changes which lead to 
the base state. 

The first revision of the git repo includes full file adds which lead to the 
same state. 

(I hope you didn't change your files when switching from SourceSafe to git 
before doing the first git commit). 

What you could try is just transplanting the git repo from the *second* 
revision onwards (the second one has real diffs again - instead of full files 
adds). 

Best wishes, 
Arne
