The truncates are something I wasn't used from diffstat > (diffstat always prints the complete name). Yeah, I don't know what the right solution is. Especially with renames (but even without), diffstat-like output can get some _really_ long lines, and since I think it's important to get the actual _stat_ part to line up (so that you can really see where the big changes are), I felt it was more important to get that lining up than it was to see the first part of the filename. But yeah, we should probably have a flag to allow longer (and shorter) lines, and another to control whether we truncate to strictly honor that flag or not. That said, I think the current behaviour is likely at least the right default one. It's quite readable once you get used to it, and the renames do _not_ get truncated in the "summary" part at the end, since then there is nothing to line up with. So for an example of this, just do git show --summary --stat -M 06a36db1 where you have an already fairly long pathname that is then renamed to _another_ long pathname.
