Comment (by GregWeber):

 If you use cabal there shouldn't be `.hi` and `.o` files lying around. If
 they are around, they should be gitignored. Tab completion can use
 `.gitignore` at least to favor `.hs` files. I know that doesn't happen by
 default in most editors though, but I think most of the community is using
 cabal or some other build system that they could setup to have a dist
 folder. `.th` files should not end up in `dist/`. Some people might want
 to gitignore them, but I think if you go to the effort of turning them on
 you want to check them in.
