Github pages, HTTP headers

github http-headers github-pages

I serve some of my files from my Github pages account. But when I check my "js" files' headers, I saw following:

Last-Modified:Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:00:46 GMT 
Expires:Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:13:23 GMT
Cache-Control:max-age=600

This file was commited 14 days ago. But I don't plan these files so frequent. So I need to make much bigger max-age value and change Last-Modified value to last commited date.

Is it possible to change headers of Github pages?

I asked this to Github admins, and they told me that "it is not possible" to change headers. They added this issue to wishlist.
