I doubt that Access is any different, with regard to Subversion, than
any other application whose data format is binary (and proprietary).

I can see two ways of dealing with such files:

* Make sure Subversion marks them as binary (it probably already
  does), and use a recent version of Subversion so that you can "lock"
  the files. That way nobody will waste time editing one only to find
  that somebody else has made a conflicting edit; or

* Find some way to export all the file's information into a text
  format, and put that text into Subversion instead of the file
  itself. Presumably that text will be pleasant to edit and merge.
