Indeed it can, and now it should. 

fedup looks for a special mirrormanager target to find the install repo
for that version. We didn't update this for f19, so it was just not
finding it. Dennis just updated things so now it will. Apparently in
f18 we also set it up before release so it would just work. 

If folks think we shouldn't make 'fedup --network 19' work now to
upgrade people to branched/prerelease, please scream. ;) Otherwise it
will be the case from now on.
