Try running 'hg serve' and access http://localhost:8000/ in your
browser. Now access it with hg, the command line client.

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.
