`restage` will stop your application, run the application bits through the
staging process to create a new droplet, and then start the new droplet.
It's a lot like `push` but without actually pushing new application bits.

`restart` will simply stop your application and start it with the existing
droplet.

You typically restart when you need your applicaiton's environment
refreshed and you typically restage when you need/want the buildpack to run
without updating the application source.

Hope that helps.
