Repair will re-copy those files only which are required by the features those are installed. It will not copy the files of those features which are not installed.

However modify will give you an option to change the feature selection. The modify window will appear with all the features available, installed were selected and not installed were un selected. Here if you select any feature that feature will install, and if you deselect any feature, then that feature will remove by the setup.

Repair: Manual repair will check that you have not missing file or downgraded file on the computer.
The repair is used to repair actions made by a user who delete a file, or by a third party installer that downgrade a shared file.
Please note that MSI have an automatic repair that checks that there are not missing files when you launch the application from an advertised shortcut.
Modify: You can add/remove some features to be installed or not. This allows you to install only some part of the software.
