Maybe you still haven't used fedup yet. The fedup-cli command needs to 
know one thing, if you tell it nothing else: where to find the new 
versions of the software. I used network.

And then it examined every package I had, and simply looked on the 
network for the version from F19. And that included looking into every 
repository I was set up to use with yum.

When it was done, it said to reboot.

That's the part that took me a long time--two and one-half hours. But at 
the end of it, I was still using KDE, and had my existing background and 
other setups.
