> In mercurial you have Branches and Bookmarks. In git you just have branches. I think git branches correspond more to hg bookmarks, than to hg named branches.

  Isn't the only real difference that hg branches are constant, while bookmarks are temporary?

    Yeah, in hg named branches the branch name is forever logged as part of the commit. Hg bookmarks and git branches are just pointers to the most recent commit.
