Fair point. Although it's hard to state the reasons, my intuition tells me
that you are right now that you have mentioned it.

(We've only got about six instances of it in all our C code so far:

subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c:1622:
             = (svn_base64_from_md5 (digest, pool))->data;
subversion/libsvn_wc/adm_crawler.c:794:
                 = (svn_base64_from_md5 (tb_digest, pool))->data;
subversion/mod_dav_svn/update.c:784:
               qval = svn_base64_encode_string(value, pool)->data;
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:710:
   code = ne_get_status(req)->code;
subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/fs_fs.c:2683:
                        svn_fs_fs__id_unparse (id, pool)->data);
subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/fs_fs.c:2838:
       idstr = svn_fs_fs__id_unparse (change->node_rev_id, pool)->data;
)

The attached version of the patch introduces a temporary variable instead.

Eliminate three poor type casts.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/deadprops.c
  (dav_svn_db_output_value, dav_svn_db_store): Don't cast away "const".

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/version.c
  (send_get_locations_report): Don't cast away "const".
