There is some docs in docs/* in the 1.9.3 download.

It sounds like you could just download 1.9.3, unpack it, rename the data
dir contained in it, copy your data dir to that place and then run the
migration script. If you have anything special in your wikiconfig, you
need to manually change/add it to the new wikiconfig before running the
migration.

Afterwards, you'll notice that some important system pages are missing -
visit LanguageSetup and read that page to get them.
