I like Gollum, but there seems to be no way to change the default markup language in GitHub. I'm using Textile instead of GitHub markdown, and I noticed that even though my files have the .textile suffix, Gollum will still default to the "markdown" editing mode instead of "textile". Is there a way to make the editor check for the file extension and use the proper editing mode?

Also, when creating a new article, there is option to select a particular markup language. All new articles will end up with a .md suffix. The only workaround I could find so far was to manually create a file in git and push it.

Is there a way to change the default markup language to something else like textile, such that new articles are created with the .textile suffix and the default editing mode is textile?
