Not modifying. Passing a pointer to a static, const value to the mod_dav
function dav_register_liveprop_group().

dav_svn_register_uris() is called once, at module load time. See
mod_dav_svn.c::register_hooks().

I'm not sure how to document it differently. It simply calls mod_dav with
some information. It isn't a complicated function... it is really just about
passing along some information so mod_dav "knows" about us.

Can you suggest a better docstring?
