git show truncates output only when piped

If I execute git show f12345a --stat I get the following output:

commit f12345a
Author: This Guy <[email protected]>
Date:   Mon Jul 1 14:00:59 2019 -0500

    A commit

 hola/mundo/hola/mundo/hola/mundo/hola/mundo/hola/mundo/hola/mundo/imaginary-very-long-file-name.txt | 2 +-
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

But if instead I execute git show f12345a --stat | grep -E "*" (basically echoing everything) I get:

commit f12345a
Author: This Guy <[email protected]>
Date:   Mon Jul 1 14:00:59 2019 -0500

    A commit

 .../hola/mundo/hola/mundo/hola/mundo/imaginary-very-long-file-name.txt  | 2 +-
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

so the question itself is why is my file name getting truncated? (how can I avoid it)?

This truncate is also applied when performing git show f12345a --stat > exit.txt, when I see the file contents the file name is trucated
