I'm pretty sure that the protocol buffer saves just the key.
However, I'm virtually certain that pickle will save both the instance
and the key if an reference property has been used. And, if that
instance has used reference properties, their instances are also saved
by pickle. I mention pickle
I think the answer (and more) is here :

Is it better/safer to store a Model instance into Memcache directly (Method
1 below), or should we convert it to a protocol buffer
Perfect, thanks Sylvain. :)

Note that memcaching a protocol buffer has interesting consequences.
One is that the auto-now datetime properties are updated when the
protocol buffer is created. This update is just on the protocol
buffer - it doesn't affect the datastore copy.
Thanks Andy. Do you know what happens to a RefenceProperty that has already
had the referenced entity loaded on the Model instance? Does the
referenced entity also get saved in the ProtocolBuffer, or is only its key
saved?
