svn is not meant to contain binary files (AFAIK Excel files are binary), there is no way to see a meaningful diff of these files. Furthermore, developers should be able to adapt to a naming scheme that avoids such problems.
Subversion actually does a pretty good job of versioning binary files, transmitting and storing deltas, although you are right that it can't show you a useful diff unless you can supply a suitable program for the operation.
