Hi all  
In my app I need that when I visit the root, it redirects to the view of the most recent model that in this case is always the firstObject in the collection.

```auto
App.Router.map(function() {
    this.resource('threads', { path: '/' }, function() {
        this.route('view', { path: ':thread_id' });
    });
});

App.ThreadsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    // console.log('in model);
    return this.store.find('thread');
  },
  afterModel: function(threads) {
    // console.log('in afterModel);
    this.transitionTo('threads.view', threads.get('firstObject'));
  }
});

```

This is working without problems, but wheter I directly go to the root url or to the view url, 2 identical requests to `/threads` are made. With the help of `console.log()` we can see that model and afterModel are both triggered 2 times. As soon I comment the afterModel section the redirection obviously doesn’t work anymore but the requests are back to 1.

Moreover according to [this Changelog](http://emberjs.com/blog/2014/03/30/ember-1-5-0-and-ember-1-6-beta-released.html#toc_routes-inherit-model) and the doc about [transitionTo](http://emberjs.com/guides/routing/redirection/) the child model hook should never be triggered, shouldn’t it?

Any help is gladly accepted!

Since Threads/View are nested routes, the `ThreadsRoute` will be also called on the `View` route.

I think you should just call the ThreadsRoute → ThreadsIndexRoute or separate model and afterModel hooks this way:

```
App.ThreadsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    // console.log('in model);
    return this.store.find('thread');
  }
});

App.ThreadsIndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  afterModel: function(threads) {
   // console.log('in afterModel);
    this.transitionTo('threads.view', threads.get('firstObject'));
  }
});

```
