Problems with installing and operating on Windows

[carm-afea]

Hi, I'm experiencing some problems in using your tool.
I found some fix/workaround but I'm still getting errors and I'm unsure if everything will work correctly.
My current configuration is
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Git: 2.35.1.2
Python: 3.10.3

All tests are performed using git-bash
note: some error message is loosely translated from Italian to English, so it may not match perfectly with the actual English version message

###
Problem [1]

-> mkdir test-repo
-> cd test-repo
-> git init
-> ~/Downloads/git-rcs-keywords-master/install.py
fatal: no such section: filter.rcs-keywords
-> ~/Downloads/git-rcs-keywords-master/install.py

So, a second execution of install.py does not return errors.
It may be fixing some things during the second run, and/or it may be skipping the problematic steps because it found some files in the .git hierarchy, thus believing that installation has been previously completed.
The .git/filters directory is not there, anyway.

A third run gives back this:

-> ~/Downloads/git-rcs-keywords-master/install.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\CI\Downloads\git-rcs-keywords-master\install.py", line 408, in <module>
    install()
  File "C:\Users\CI\Downloads\git-rcs-keywords-master\install.py", line 390, in install
    install_git_keywords(repo_dir='')
  File "C:\Users\CI\Downloads\git-rcs-keywords-master\install.py", line 327, in install_git_keywords
    register_file_pattern(git_dir)
  File "C:\Users\CI\Downloads\git-rcs-keywords-master\install.py", line 271, in register_file_pattern
    os.rename(attribute_file, attribute_backup)
FileExistsError: [WinError 183] Can't create a file, if it already exists: '.git\\info\\attributes' -> '.git\\info\\attributes~'

Impact: non working installation
Solution: run git-bash as administrator.
It still requires a double run of install.py (see above), but it seems to be working.
In some previous attempt it reported a failure in creating symlinks, running as administrator solved that, although I could not reproduce the scenario.

###
Problem [2]

-> git add test.txt
.git\hooks\rcs-filter-clean.py 'test.txt': .githooksrcs-filter-clean.py: command not found
error: external filter '.git\hooks\rcs-filter-clean.py %f' failed 127
error: external filter '.git\hooks\rcs-filter-clean.py %f' failed
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in test.txt.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory

Impact: non working filtering
Solution: I edited .git/config replacing double backward slashes with single forward slashes

Before:
[filter "rcs-keywords"]
	clean = .git\\filters\\rcs-filter-clean.py %f
	smudge = .git\\filters\\rcs-filter-smudge.py %f
After:
[filter "rcs-keywords"]
	clean = .git/filters/rcs-filter-clean.py %f
	smudge = .git/filters/rcs-filter-smudge.py %f

###
Problem [3]

-> git commit -m "test msg" test.txt
".git" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.
[master (root-commit) b860aab] test msg

-> git checkout test.txt

""\".git" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

-> rm -f test.txt
-> git checkout test.txt
Updated 1 paths from the index

Impact: unknown
Solution: unknown

###
Checking out test.txt does not change anything.
Removing test.txt and checking it out again successfully perform keywords expansion.
