[linux-cifs-client] Inconsistent permissions on creation

I use CIFS in order to share homes between Linux clients and
a Linux server. (Windows computers also use this share, and NFS isn't secure
enough). Permissions seem to be inconsistent:

If I use touch/vim create a file, it gets normal permissions - 644.
But if I use wget/svn, it gets 755. Why? This is quite annoying with svn.
(chmodding later works)

File mask stays default - I want the user to be able to make a
file executable if he wants.
