I had a similar problem, but I solved it using "ignore-paths" and "ignore-refs".
If I remember correctly, you need to set both to ignore bdir directly without
ignoring b3, b4,...

For ignore-refs, pls see cdb51a13c3cf4830d499d1138160eacdd2b8aa46, as it is currently
undocumented.

So I would try experimenting with the following settings:

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = file:///home/chris/programs/svn/repo
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/svn/trunk
        tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/svn/tags/*
        branches = branches/{b1,b2}:refs/remotes/svn/*
        branches = branches/bdir/{b3,b4}:refs/remotes/svn/*

        # Operates on the imported git branches
        ignore-refs  = ^refs/remotes/bdir$

        # Operates on the SVN branches; you might try it first without this statement
        ignore-paths = ^branches/bdir$

Thanks for the advice.  I tried this:

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = file:///home/chris/programs/svn/repo
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/svn/trunk
        branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/svn/*
        tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/svn/tags/*
        branches = branches/bdir/*:refs/remotes/svn/bdir2/*
        ignore-paths  = ^branches/bdir$
        ignore-refs  = ^refs/remotes/bdir$

It doesn't seem to change anything.

You need a git version new enough to include cdb51a13c3cf4830d499d1138160eacdd2b8aa46, otherwise
it won't have any effect and will be silently ignored.
