Description

When using the Transfer object to clone a database catalog into an existing empty database, DataTransferBase invokes SetTargetServerInfoAndGetModelSize() and reads the size of the "model" database. This is unnecessary and actually unwanted due to the fact that this seems to place an exclusive lock on the "model" database.

Research direction

Start with the Transfer flow and trace DataTransferBase's call to SetTargetServerInfoAndGetModelSize(). Confirm why cloning into an existing empty database reads the model database and whether that creates the unwanted exclusive lock. The issue names no source file or test; done means the unnecessary model-size read no longer occurs in this scenario.
