Or just go here and grab the tarball:

https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v10beta1/

Is there a reason you want to start a new branch and not just checkout
the existing branch?

--enable-integer-datetimes --enable-thread-safety are the default so
they do not need to be specified. In fact in 10 you can't create float
datetimes:

"

Remove support for floating-point datetimes/timestamps (Tom Lane)

This removes configure's --disable-integer-datetimes option.
Floating-point datetimes/timestamps have not been the default since
Postgres 8.3 and have few advantages.
