Avoid personal wording (I choose to write ... because -> The code is
written ... because). What matters in the commit message is the reason
for the choice, not who made it.

No builtin/rebase--status--helper.c in your patch, is it intended?

"die" is used to exit with an error code ($? != 0). You just mean exit
$? here, to exit with the same code as the helper.

And actually, you don't need to keep your script alive while the helper
is ran, so you can write

exec git rebase--status--helper

... or not.

Avoid leaving incorrect things like this in intermediate steps, even if
you're going to fix them eventually. It's too easy to forget the actual
fix and leave a "Rebase in progress" message even when there's no rebase
in progress. And reviewers may get confused.

I'd have written stg like

	printf("git rebase --status is not yet implemented");
