Set timer on Get Lock (SVN)

Hi I was wondering if there is a way for the SVN server to automatically release and commit the Get Lock function on any file after a certain amount of time.
for example; if a developer locked a file to work on, and forgot to release the lock, in 10 mins the lock will be automatically released.
We have a big numbers of developers here and if one forgot to release a lock it might be a problem and then we will have to use either "steal" or "break" which are nor very safe neither efficient

Hmm.. This is actually a very good question and doing a bit of digging in the svn manuals, it seems like at the very least, an expire date is supported: "Lock Created (date) - Lock Expires (date)" .. But there's no reference in the manuals anywhere on how to set this property. I may have to sniff my source code checkout of svn and see if I can find where it can be invoked. Good question.

I'd do it now, but unfortunately I can't look at the moment since I'm at work and don't have it on hand. Maybe if someone else has done a bit of digging, they can answer as well.
