Source control the /bin folder?
No, we never check in the bin folder, instead we try to use NuGet packages as much as possible. In some cases, when no NuGet package is available, we have a References folder with all other dll files which we reference in the main web application project or we add a XCopy script to copy the dll files to the bin folder on post build event.
Hope this helps.

I understand the use of Nuget packages and a references folder for third party dll files but what about EPiServer dlls?
Should they be used from GAC or from EPiServer/CMS/6.0.530/bin or from application bin?

Should the /bin folder be added to source control when working with EPiServer?
In general my experience says /bin does not belong in source control since it's dynamically generated but being new to EPiServer and having just started a new job where this is done, I'm not sure?
We had a lot of trouble setting up a development environment on my machine because of mismatches between the projects bin folder, EPiServers own bin folder and the GAC.
