With hindsight I should have remembered that there was a scrit for doing this upgrade, documented here wiki:NewLiveServer#mediawiki

Manually updating the extansions, first on kiwi:

cd /web/wiki.dev.transitionnetwork.org/www/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi
svn switch https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/
  svn: 'http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_18/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi'
  is not the same repository as
'https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki'

So the old version was deleted and a new version checked out:

cd ..
rm -rf SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/
rm -rf FCKeditor
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/FCKeditor/
rm -rf ConfirmEdit/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/ConfirmEdit/
rm -rf Gadgets/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/Gadgets/
rm -rf ParserFunctions/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/ParserFunctions/
rm -rf Renameuser/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/Renameuser/
rm -rf WikiEditor/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/WikiEditor/
rm -rf Nuke/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/Nuke/
rm -rf SpamBlacklist/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/SpamBlacklist/
rm -rf Vector/
svn co https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_19/extensions/Vector/

The upgrade script was updated for next time, the rich text editor was tested here https://wiki.dev.transitionnetwork.org/Main_Page and then the updated were applied to the live server.
