I wasn't able to find such an option, and a quick work around would be
to redirect all repository browser requests. The problemd is I
couldn't find the format that the hgweb.cgi scripts accepts to show
the repository browser.

<pre wrap="">Try running 'hg serve' and access <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost:8000/">http://localhost:8000/</a> in your

repository browsing is disabled with the build in browser.
Disabling the browser should not disable pull or push. So I think I
also need to know the urls for the push and pull commands.

<pre wrap="">If people can pull, then they can just run 'hg serve' locally and do
what you are trying to disable... so why do you want to disable the
repository browser on your server?
All the commands done by the command line client access URLs of the form
/?cmd=COMMAND
so you can direct other requests to your error page.

Wouldn't simply setting 'deny_read = *' in the [web]-section of the
.hg/hgrc file of your repository do the trick?<br>
(Look here <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html">http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html</a>
for the [web] section -> deny_read option)<br>
