With Protobuf-net, does it allow deserialization reuse existing instances if they are the same?

protobuf-net

I'm using Protobuf-net. Suppose I have a list of Gizmo objects serialized and that each gizmo object reference a Gazoo object. The Gazoo object might be the same object referred by several Gizmo objects.

How would deserialization work in this situation?

Would I get more than one copies of Gazoos for the same referred one in the gizmo objects?

What I would expect would be one copy of Gazoo for all the duplicates in the serialized data.
