The current rule is that helper programs have double-dash in the name:
git-rebase--interactive, git-web--browse, etc.

I'm not entirely sure if these are helper programs in that sense, or 
really what the distinction is between these and regular plumbing. 
Multiple programs will be calling them, and they'll have a specified API, 
in any case. (I think the double-dash programs are ones where all of the 
call sites are internal, so both the API and all the users can be changed 
together.)
