My favourite way of doing this is abusing the fact that gitweb.conf is
perl code that's loaded with do $filename.

This makes it easy to override such things. Try this in gitweb.conf for example:

sub no_index {
    die_error(403, "No access to the repository list");
}
$actions{project_list} = \&no_index;
$actions{project_index} = \&no_index;
$actions{opml} = \&no_index;
