This is not officially supported.

You could either remove the mercurial/hgweb directory, which will
give ugly tracebacks if people try to use the server mode. Not only
the http server will be affected, but doing push over ssh to a hg
without server support, too.

But all local operations and pulling/pushing from/to remote (full)
servers should work fine.

The other option would be to disable the parts of the 'hg serve'
command that you don't need.

But of course all this is just a child safety lock. If you don't
trust your users, you have other problems.


For what purpose do you need such a setup?

Thomas
