There is none... Which is ok because when you add a Framemaker file to your Subversion repository, it'll be treated as a binary file and SVN won't diff/merge it anyway.

SVN allows multiple developers to simultaneously modify line-based source-code files, but it will not allow multiple developers to simultaneously modify Framemaker files.  Under SVN, your editing process will be as it was under VSS: Frame files will be editable by only one person at a time.
