There are a few situations where tasks do not restart cleanly.

newRepo tasks get an error because they fail to recycle their createrepo 
subtasks effectively. I've been meaning to fix this but it's generally 
not a big issue, kojira will just create a fresh task when it fails.

build tasks can sometimes fail on restart if they've gotten too far 
along -- specifically if they've already triggered the build import (the 
restart will then fail because the NVR already exists). Of course if it 
imported the build then it is mostly done, but the task will show up as 
failed (even though the build will show as successful). Also the build 
might not be tagged (which can be remedied by simply tagging it manually).

Similarily, a tagBuild task can fail on restart if it got as far as 
actually tagging but didn't quite finish. Of course this means the 
tagging actually occurred, but the notification will indication 
otherwise (or you may see both the success and failure notifications).
