This has issues with the linking of the remote & subtree merging. Instead: add the subtree remote, just split, push to a new branch on the subtree remote, and merge in that repo.
git subtree split --prefix <subtree_path> -b <merge_branch>
ex.
git subtree split --prefix docroot/sites/all/modules/custom/iga_common -b sandbox-split-1
