Not easily.

Nor is it particularly advisable. Being able to run the server is an
extremely useful feature. Some scenarios:

- allow local user to browse history including local changes via web interface
- allow other users to easily review/test changes before pushing them to a
  central server
- allow local user to easily synchronize work between desktop and laptop
