I’ve got a server and I want to use Mercurial to coordinate a project. Can I just make a repo, put it on the server, and have everyone else clone it, then push/pull from it? Is there some way to password protect it?

Yes. The wiki has a good breakdown on the various mechanisms. hgweb and hgwebdir (which I’ve used) are probably the simplest. push is off by default, but can be enabled. They’re simple Python scripts that can use Apache for authentication.
