In a previous question "Revision tracking on a per subsection basis" I asked about tracking revisions by section.
The answer that worked well for me was a macro that user Mike wrote.
\documentclass[a4paper]{scrbook}

\usepackage[colorlinks,linkcolor=blue]{hyperref}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\curr@revision}{}
\newcommand*{\curr@date}{}
\newcommand*{\curr@author}{}

% #3: author (last modified by)
\newcommand*{\setrevision}[3]{%
\def\curr@revision{#1}%
\def\curr@date{#2}%
\def\curr@author{#3}%
}
\newcommand*{\printrevision}{%

My issue is that when I "\printrevision" after a section heading the \widowpenalty \clubpenalty don't seem to do anything and I get widow headings and orphan paragraphs in my document.
I've tried the \nowidow package and it made no difference. I've spent some time trying to figure this out but have had no luck.
