Yes, they are.

I'm not sure what you think Bazaar does.  In Bazaar, a repository format
plugin  implements the same API that a native repository format does.

This is how bzr supports Subversion, Mercurial and Git repositories.

But if I remember correctly Subversion does not remember merge points
(merge commits), so how can you provide full Bazaar-NG compatibility
with Subversion repository as backend? Some repository formats lack
some features.

That's true.  We support merge points in a way that's compatible with
svk.  Subversion allows revisions to have arbitrary properties, and svk
sets a property to indicate merges.

In git we have import tools (most of them capable of incremental import),
a few exchange tools like git-cvsexportcommit, git-cvsserver, and
Tailor-like git-svn.

Bzr's subversion support is quite nice.  You can commit, merge, run
history viewers.

There are screenshots and stuff here:
